Case Study: Homebase

Summary

As a new supplier to Homebase our first projects to be allocated were the Storage & More concept in to Harrogate and Leeds. The requirement was to supply a Project Manager and a team of Gondola Installers with joinery capabilities and Merchandisers over a 5 day period to create an area in the store for the implementation of the Storage & More area.

Challenges

The main challenge faced during this project was creating the initial space, which meant that a number of categories including Cleaning and existing Storage had to be de-stocked and temporarily located in order to do this. Additionally, the Bluestones team had to ensure that the project was planned and implemented safely and considerately as the stores were still trading during this period.

Results

We achieved the project within the 5 day allocated period and delivered to a great standard. Homebase comments were: “The teams were fantastic, always came with solutions to a problem and they are an asset to Bluestones One.”

Pictures show before and in the latter stages of the project.
