BHETA is to hold a second retailer networking webinar with the B&Q Marketplace initiative to include an update on the latest developments.  The speaker will be Holly Love, Marketplace Business Development Manager at B&Q and the event takes place Tuesday 12th March at 10:00am.

Holly is recruiting 3P merchants for B&Q and will talk for 20 minutes about B&Q’s marketplace, progress, future opportunities and how to onboard, followed by a Q&A session for 10-15 minutes.

The B&Q Marketplace proposition is that choice is vital for consumers when it comes to home improvement.  Through its marketplace proposition, B&Q is expanding existing ranges including:

• Wallpaper
• Lighting
• Power Tools
• Outdoor
• Cleaning & Waste
• Kitchen sink taps
• Small Domestic Appliances

The event is for BHETA members. Non-members who are interested in experiencing a BHETA event and are thinking of joining the association, are also welcome to register for a ‘taster session,’ on the condition they are happy to have a membership chat with the relevant sector manager.

BHETA’s marketing director, Steve Richardson commented, “The B&Q marketplace concept remains a much talked about development and I am sure that DIY, garden, housewares, and small electrical brands will want to get involved.  It’s great that BHETA is providing an excellent opportunity to do exactly that, so I am expecting an excellent turn-out.”
