HOMEBASE & ARGOS HOME RETAIL GROUP, UK:
Going back to 2009, this was the single biggest project undertaken by HRG through their Homebase and Argos businesses, and it was to AET they turned to manage the project. It was a straightforward brief, but with huge implications on capital expenditure for HRG. This was the brief. Right now we buy all of our taps form our Homebase instore tap bar from Bristan, which is around £8 million annually, we buy all our taps that we sell through Argos from some unnamed importers. We want AET to source all of these products from one Chinese manufacturer; we want to save £2 Million annually and by doing so; that saving will cover the cap exes required to cleanse the Instore tap bars and move to own label taps for both Homebase and Argos. This was a mammoth task, however the manufacturer was selected, the project commenced with haste and the project from inception to delivery was completed and delivered in just 8 months. The initial opening stock order for the combined business to cover all the required working stock and the refit the instore tap bars was £2.8 Million: putting that in context, that was 10 40ft Containers, produced, paid for and shipped in just one operation.
