Summary

Bluestones One is very proud to support Dunelm with its New Stores & Refit programme.

Our teams support the Dunelm New Stores & Refit team across all aspects of merchandising activity within their stores. We supply the teams in accordance with Dunelm’s scope of works, and the duration and shift patterns can vary depending on the activity.

Challenges

As a home retailer, Dunelm has a variety of different merchandising methods, and their standards and expectations are high. With this in mind, we have both worked hard to gather the detail required for our teams to deliver and work with Dunelm to supply consistent teams from store to store, regardless of location.

Results

Bluestones continue to support Dunelm across their activity and are incredibly proud to do so. We have regular reviews to drive improvements and innovations across the activity that we do and look forward to maintaining our strong relationship.

In memory of Harry Stringer

In loving memory of Harry Stringer On Monday the 7th March 2022, we lost one of our most loved site supervisors. Harry passed away suddenly after suffering a heart attack 1 week prior to his passing.

Harry made his debut in the retail industry working for Homebase in 1987 where he served for 20 years in roles such as Store Manager and in the later part of his Homebase career in the Store Format team.
