Last year we were told tool time tool sales promotion at Xmas was worth. Millions to the company. This year they haven't bothered, sales are well down with no xmas promotional activities, mass out of stocks, staff have left in droves replaced by lovely but inexperienced Eastern European workers, staff bonuses taken away and replaced with bonus based on unachievable targets have cost staff 6% of their salary, while the CEO and directors have received bigger than normal bonuses. Lowery has destroyed BQ UK, and is continuing to do so how long before kingfisher dumps BQ like it did woolworths, remember before they sold woolworths they sold off the property that it owned! 

Members of the recently formed Landlords Alliance have started a Nationwide boycott of B&Q and Screwfix due to the former's support of Shelter.  The 'charity' leads or supports every attack that is happening on the Private Rented Sector.  These attacks are causing the sector to contract at over 4000 properties a month and are therefore resulting in massive numbers of families losing their homes.  These households are then left looking for somewhere new to rent in a shrinking market and often end up at their council's doors but with little in the way of social housing stock, the result is homelessness.
