Case Study: Morrisons

Summary

Bluestones One were selected to support Morrisons to deliver their store change programme in Reigate. Within the merchandising resource requirement, a project delivery manager was deployed to oversee all aspects of contractor works on-site through the programme, ensuring that all store change activity was actioned in line with the client’s requirements.

Challenges

Multi contractor team project management on-site with varied shift timings and work planning requirements always creates a challenge throughout store change programmes. The Bluestones One field team leaders and project delivery manager showed their capability in adapting to the challenges, delivering innovative solutions that ensured the project phasing timeline was delivered.

Results

The communication across the project delivery manager, field team leaders, central resource team and account manager through to the client project manager and store teams ensured that every project phase was delivered on time. The skillset was always aligned to maximise efficiencies. All these factors combined ensured a firm control and cost visibility.
