B&Q DIY Warehouse UK Background
Established in 1969 B&Q was the partnership of Richard Block
and David Quayle when DIY was a hobby of the few and products
were only available at Builders Merchants. Their ethos was to
offer a wider choice of building and home improvement products
with longer opening hours that traditional stockists. The first
B&Q DIY store opened in Southampton and within ten
years their popularity had led to a further twenty store openings.
By then one of the original partners had left the business and
the remaining partner left a couple of years later when the B
and Q DIY store chain was acquired by Woolworths plc. They
are now part of the Kingfisher group. It was not until the 1990's
that they started to move to their B and Q DIY warehouse
format. The first UK B&Q DIY warehouse opened in 1995
and there are now over one hundred warehouses across the UK. Successive
acquisitions within Europe means that currently B&Q is both
the largest DIY and garden retailer in the UK and Europe as a
whole. Further International store openings has secured a comfortable
third position globally with the largest DIY and garden store
in Beijing.
