UK’s Retail Week one-on-one interview with PJ Davis shedding insights at the launch of the Homebase conversation to Bunnings in St Albans.

As Bunnings opens its first UK store, managing director PJ Davis unveils his vision for the home improvement retailer.

Australian giant Bunnings marched onto the UK DIY scene after its parent company Wesfarmers acquired Homebase last year.

Almost a year later, having axed the former Homebase leadership team and relocated to new headquarters in Milton Keynes, the retailer has completed the first store conversion and opened the doors to a Bunnings Warehouse in St Albans.

Bunnings UK and Ireland managing director spoke to Retail Week before the first store opened about his plans to ultimately transform the 265-unit Homebase estate.

He revealed the location of the next two pilot stores, and also opened up about Brexit, how the business plans to mitigate inflationary pressures, and deliver on its “lowest price” promise.

"Recent court documents show that Lowe’s and Woolworths have been fighting in court. The argument centers around Woolworths’ “plans to keep 13 Masters sites and its alleged attempts to use the threat of insolvency to gain the consent of Lowe’s for its plans,” according to the Sept. 20 article from The Australian Business Review."
