B&Q is a leading home improvement and garden center retailer. Originating in the United Kingdom, the brand has grown from a single store into a major international name in the DIY sector. While the brand itself is British, its vast array of products—ranging from power tools and building materials to garden furniture and lighting—is sourced from a global network of manufacturers. Many items are produced in the UK, Europe, and Asia to meet high-volume retail demands.

The brand's journey began in 1969, founded by Richard Block and David Quayle in Southampton. Today, B&Q operates as a primary subsidiary of Kingfisher plc, an international home improvement company. Kingfisher oversees a portfolio of well-known DIY brands across Europe, ensuring that B&Q remains a cornerstone of the British retail landscape while benefiting from a massive international supply chain and corporate structure headquartered in London.
