The newly transformed B&Q Nottingham store re-opened its doors to the public today as staff proudly unveiled the store’s new features including 16 specialist shop-within-a-shop areas showcasing lighting, flooring, paint and soft furnishings.

General Manager Andy Mason hosted the ribbon cutting ceremony alongside
Team B&Q athlete and slalom canoeist Campbell Walsh. Afterwards, staff showed the customer’s around the newly transformed store, revealing the store’s best features including brand new kitchen and bathroom showrooms, a home décor centre, a 20,000 square foot builder’s yard and a coffee shop.

The 134,000 square foot store boasts over 50 kitchen and bathroom showrooms, in addition to areas dedicated to lighting, flooring, tiling and paint - everything homeowners need to brighten up their home on a budget. Resident in-store experts, including plumbers, electricians, horticulturists and showroom designers, are on-hand to offer advice in all areas of home improvement.

The new-look store also stocks an extended range of energy saving products, as part of B&Q’s One Planet Living initiative , making it easier for homeowners to reduce the impact of their home on the environment.

Visitors to the new B&Q Nottingham were also treated to ten percent off over the opening weekend in addition to a host of entertainment.

B&Q Nottingham’s General Manager Andy Mason said: "We have had a great day celebrating with all the staff, and are thoroughly looking forward to working in this fantastic new store. We have received an excellent response from the first customers to visit the store, particularly commenting on the new showrooms and in-store experts".

Team B&Q member Campbell Walsh comments, “I was delighted to be invited to such an exciting event for B&Q and it was great to be able to meet lots of staff and customers and share my Olympic experiences with them. I think the refurbished store is going to be a real benefit to Nottingham.”
