Homebase announces Next partnership

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Homebase has announced a new partnership with Next in which its gardening products will be brought to selection of the retailers stores.

The partnership will see six Homebase garden centres open in Shoreham, Ipswich, Warrington, Camberley, Bristol and Sheffield Next stores.

Homebase is also set to open more of its small-format stores today (12 April) on the high street in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. The openings will bring the total number of Homebase’s small-format stores to six across Guildford, Cheadle and Sutton.

Damian McGloughlin, CEO Homebase, said: “We’re delighted to be joining forces with Next and bringing our garden products and expertise to its stores. It’s all part of our wider commitment to make shopping with us easier and provide even more inspiration and expert advice.

“The launch of these new garden centres means we’re able to offer more gardeners, both experienced and those just starting out, Homebase products in more locations across the country.”
