B & Q - B&Q.co.uk Information
B&Q.co.uk online from the UK's largest retail chain
selling a wide range of DIY and garden related products.
B&Q Store History
The first B&Q Store opened in Southampton, Hampshire
in 1969 as a break from traditional retailers of DIY products
they stocked and displayed a much wider range of home improvement
items aimed at both relatively inexperienced DIY enthusiasts as
well as trade professionals. Opening hours were also extended
to beyond normal retail hours with early opening and later closing
times for every day of the week. This format proved to be incredibly
popular and the company blossomed alongside an increasing popularity
in Do It Yourself home design and improvements. The BQ superstore
chain is now a household name within the UK and is owned by the
Kingfisher group. B&Q occupy an envious position in DIY retail
- they have the largest market share in both the UK and Europe
and are currently third across the globe. As well as offering
a wide range of products, services and advice they have also strong
links with community development and have forged strong partnerships
with both the British Olympic Team and the renowned yachtwoman
Ellen MacArthur. BQ co.uk is supporting the British Team
in their preparations for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Their
relationship with Ellen MacArthur saw the B&Q trimaran being
successfully navigated around the globe by Ellen as she broke
all previous records. Their specially commissioned exclusive Ellen
MacArthur clothing range
is only available through their web site and was chosen to illustrate
their partnership and support of Ellen in her endeavours.
