Wickes: New Stores & Refit Activity

Summary

Bluestones One were very proud to support Wickes across its full New Stores & Refit programme.

We were tasked with delivering installation and merchandising activity across 7 and a half weeks for refits and 10 days for new store activity. By utilising our experienced installation and merchandising teams, we delivered phased activity on time and on budget.

Challenges

Wickes required an experienced, people-focused partner to supply them with talented teams, improving standards across the estate and driving efficiencies. By establishing an excellent relationship with the customers at all levels, we were able to deliver “right first time” on every level of this project. This was delivered through investment in training and support to our teams to ensure they understood the high standards of this fantastic retailer.

Results

By working closely with Wickes and delivering results above the required brief, we have continued to be awarded further stores and get involved in more projects across the Wickes estate and the wider Travis Perkins group. With our continued focus on developing our teams and building relationships with our customers, we hope to be working with Wickes for many more years.
