Brand new B&Q opens its doors in Sutton

In preparation for the launch, the B&Q team headed to Sutton’s Local Women’s Centre for a community volunteering day.

They did this as part of the B&Q Community Days Programme, focusing on getting B&Q colleagues into the local community to improve the space for a charity close to them.

The day’s activities saw the team repaint the rooms to make them cleaner and brighter, as well as improving the outside of the building to make it feel more welcoming to visitors.

Liz, Manager of Sutton Women’s Centre, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome the B&Q team to our site, they have done a brilliant job at transforming several rooms and the outside of our building to help make it a more welcoming place.

“The team have made some big changes which will help make a difference for our visitors.” 

Unit Manager, Justin Haines will be joined by Mayor Cllr Colin Stears today as part of the opening day celebrations.

B&Q’s new compact 8,700sq. ft store will offer 6,000 products, available either in store for immediate pick-up or for one-hour or next day click and collect, as well as access to over 350,000 more home improvement products for home delivery.  

Justin Haines and his team of 17 colleagues will be on hand to support the local community helping to make home improvement easier by providing the tools and knowledge for home improvement projects, whether whole home renovations, kitchen and bathroom installations, or décor refreshes reflecting the latest trends.  

When discussing the upcoming store opening, Justin Haines, Unit Manager at B&Q Local Sutton, said: “We’re really looking forward to opening the new B&Q Local Sutton store and are pleased to have kicked off the celebrations by helping to support our community.

“The team had a great time at Sutton’s Local Women’s Centre re-decorating some of the rooms and transforming the outside.  

“My team and I now can’t wait to start welcoming customers to our new store and providing them with inspiration and knowledge to help make it easier for their DIY dreams to become a reality.
