Wickes Case Study

Bluestones One are very proud to have supported Wickes with their new store opening in Bolton. 

The new store features 4,270 sq ft showroom including showroom windows and a dedicated 2,200 sq ft warehouse. This massive project included lots of cross team functionality with many different teams collaborating together to produce a fantastic new store which not only looks great but functions highly efficiently and effectively.

We were able to support this project by supplying teams to deliver the installation of all racking and gondola and also supported the merchandising activity. Take a look at the video above to see the results!

It was a pleasure to support on this amazing new store – well done to all involved.
