Case Study: The Range

Summary

As part of seasonal changes within The Range stores, we were asked to implement the Cuprinol Spring project end change in 160 of the retailer’s stores over a 5 day period. We immobilised our team of merchandisers to cover the length and breadth of the country to complete the project with the timescale and to budget.

Challenges

The biggest challenge with this project was completing a seasonal end change during a busy trading period, however, this was a fairly standard project for our very capable teams.

Results

Although our teams competed with a busy trading period, all stores were 100% compliant and completed on time without the need to revisit a single store.

How did your journey at Bluestones One begin and what has it been like since?I joined the business in February 2020 and was really excited with my role and new opportunity to develop. Unfortunately, I was grounded slightly by the pandemic. This then presented the business and me with lots of obstacles which we had never experienced but with the support from the internal team and from our partner company, Bluestones Investment Group (BIG), we overcame these. Whilst many businesses have failed to survive, Installations continued to develop and grow its customer base. The next few years may present many challenges, but I am excited to drive the business forward in the coming years. What do you enjoy about working in this industry?I believe you must be a self-motivator and be ready to tackle daily challenges. Each day presents itself with new challenges, and whilst this can be difficult, you get a sense of achievement when you deliver for the customer. One thing that really excites me is the opportunity to see lots of the UK whilst on client and site meetings. We have a fantastic internal support team who are young and ambitious, and this allows us to develop.
