									<h3><em>Case study:</em></h3><h3><strong>B&amp;Q Equipment Health &amp; Safety Project</strong></h3><p>Bluestones One was proud to support B&amp;Q with a health and safety–focused initiative designed to quickly address and resolve an identified equipment risk across a number of stores.   </p><p>The project targeted locations where equipment featured a half-leg structure with a load-bearing framework, presenting a potential safety concern. Bluestones One carried out visits to all identified stores to assess the issue, complete the required documentation, and conduct thorough risk assessments.                                                                         </p><p>Our team implemented immediate safety measures to ensure each area remained safe for both customers and staff, allowing stores to continue operating without disruption. Once the areas were secured, the necessary remedial work was completed to resolve the issue.</p><p>Following the repair work, all equipment, stock, and point-of-sale materials were returned to their standard layout, ensuring each store was fully restored to its normal operational condition.</p>								</div>

									<h4><strong>Challenges</strong></h4><p>This project required visits to multiple stores during trading hours, meaning the relevant areas had to be made safe while work was carried out. Our dedicated team used purpose-built barriers to secure the work zones, ensuring safety for both customers and staff while minimising disruption to normal store operations.                                                     </p><p>The barriers were designed to be effective without being overly intrusive. If a customer required a product located within the work area, they could easily contact a member of our team for assistance. Our team members were on hand to retrieve items safely on their behalf.                                     </p><p>This approach helped minimise potential lost sales while ensuring customers felt safe and supported as the work was completed</p>								</div>

									<h4>Summary</h4><p>Bluestones One were proud to support Asda with their Yorkshire Rose Project, which focused on upgrading and improving the shopping experience in key stores close to their Yorkshire heartland. We supported the merchandising moves at Pudsey, Kingswood Hull, and York, working closely with the Asda store teams and contractors to implement the required changes. Our passionate teams worked through the nights over a 5-week period to deliver this fantastic new concept to Asda customers.</p><h4>Challenges</h4><p>The considerable transformation required close collaboration with both the stores and contractors to deliver each nightly phase without disrupting store operations or impacting customers. When issues or delays occurred, the dedicated Bluestones team leaders engaged with the wider project team to develop solutions, overcome challenges, and ensure the projects remained on track.</p><h4>Results</h4><p>The Yorkshire Rose projects were completed on time and within budget, with very little disruption to customers. Both head office and stores praised the smooth rollout and the professionalism of the Bluestones teams. Early feedback is showing sales growth and reflects the strong collaboration between Bluestones and Asda. The project also highlights our ability to deliver large-scale changes in the grocery sector and lays the foundations for future expansion of the new concept across other stores in the Asda portfolio.</p><div class="mb-2 flex gap-3 -ml-2" tabindex="0"><div class="flex items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1"><div class="flex items-center transition-opacity group-hover/turn:opacity-100 opacity-100"><h4>Get in touch</h4></div></div></div><p>For more information about the comprehensive range of services offered by Bluestones One, please feel free to reach out to us at <a href="\&quot;mailto:info@bluestonesone.co.uk\&quot;">info@bluestonesone.co.uk</a></p>								</div>
