B&Q to create 4,000 new jobs

B&Q
is creating 4,000 new jobs over the next 12 months, with all new staff
recruited via the company’s website, its recruitment hotline and by tuning in
to Job Channel TV.

Seventeen
new stores are being built to keep up with the expanding DIY market.

Mike
Cutt, HR director, said: "The DIY market has changed tremendously in the
past five years. We’ve seen a change from DIY to home improvement, the growth
of BIY (buy it yourself), the growth of services such as installation and wider
ranges of products from entry price level to products you would usually only
see at specialist outlets. We’ve evolved our new stores to satisfy these
changing customer needs and we will create 4,000 new jobs in the process over
the next year."
