Opportunities
Lots of different categories allowing us to showcase our expertise in other areas such as flooring and wall coverings. They are also trying to develop their kitchen & bathroom configurators which could be a massive opportunity for CCW. We have built a really good relationship with the bathroom team so will continue to improve on it and build new relationships elsewhere in the business.
Challenges
There are a lot of seasonal stock changes with big ticket items which means a constant turnaround of content needed.
