The process to improve the store involved: new ways of working - everything is worked on during the night shift with stock moved from warehouse to shelves etc leaving the day shift to focus on the customer, helpdesks at distribution centres rather than needing to contact Holborn head office; staff engagement - new noticeboards, staff 'huddles' and feedback; team work between supply chain and retail; management of warehouse, dealing with 'overs'; the depot helping the stores. Speaking on the video are: several members of staff and the management team at Newbury store, Lawrence Christensen, Jon Hartland (Zone Managing Director), customers, John McFerran (depot manager - Basingstoke).
