Next project
B&Q (Ex-Homebase Stores)
Following the acquisition of eight former Homebase units in the UK and Ireland, B&Q partnered with Greens to transform these with their new store model.
Working our way around the UK and Ireland
With years of experience working with B&Q to update their retail signage and open new stores, we were excited to be chosen to complete the brand's new eight-site project to transform former Homebase units.
For the first phase of this project, we transformed the five sites around the UK: Altrincham, Basingstoke, Biggleswade, Leamington Spa and Worcester.
Once completed, we moved on to the three stores in Ireland: Navan, Letterkenny, and Waterford.
Each site had unique requirements, but generally included a checklist of essential signage adapted to the store layout.
Sign Package
Our sign package included external, internal, and car park signage for each site, including:
- Internally illuminated flex face skins installed over aluminium frames
- Flat cut, powder-coated 'arrow' entrance sign
- Aluminium panels and freestanders with vinyl branding details
- Digi-print vinyl window graphics
- Hanging 'paint frame' installation
- Opal acrylic, internally illuminated built-up letter sets
We achieved B&Q’s desired opening dates for their new locations through stringent coordination and effective collaboration across our internal teams.
All 8 acquired stores opened and trading under the B&Q banner in less than 7 weeks... Thanks to everyone involved both our B&Q teams as well as our external partners you've been amazing.
