Work starts on new Clarets Store

Work has already commenced on the building of new open-plan offices, which will bring all departments together under one roof for the first time and help improve and speed-up the service to supporters, corporate clients and community organisations.

And a new Clarets Store will now complement this build to offer a much bigger retail offering in three times the current floor space.

Temporary retail and ticketing facilities will be in place at Turf Moor while the building work is ongoing.

The new Clarets Store will be built once staff have been rehoused into the new first-floor offices, which will link to existing function rooms in the Bob Lord Stand and house all club staff from an expected completion date of October, 2015.

New turnstiles will be installed at ground level beneath the new build and long-term access to the Bob Lord Stand for supporters using this entrance will remain unaffected.

The club’s main reception also remains unaffected by ongoing work and will remain open during normal office hours.

However, the club’s catering department, who currently occupy offices on the ground floor of the Bob Lord Stand, will shortly relocate into the UCFB Student Services offices at the east end of the James Hargreaves Stand.
