The opener
It starts from the topic, never from the signal: no “I saw that you…”.
The conversation
Hi Lea, A new branch is often the moment to rethink the trade counter area, where builders spend most of their time. How are you picturing it in Exeter?
For now we're copying the layout of the other branches. Why do you ask?
We fit out builders merchants, from the counter to the racking, and that's usually where you win back usable space. Has the interior work started?
Not yet, we're waiting on quotes. Worth comparing.
How about Thursday at 10 am, or the same time the following week? 20 minutes on a video call with the floor plan. The invite will go to l.chapman@moorlandmerchants.co.uk, is that right?
Let's do Thursday at 10 am. Yes, that's right.

The Wharf 12, a coworking space in Bristol, shows its extension works with a large open-plan room, opening in September.
Great room taking shape at The Wharf 12. In big open spaces, noise often becomes members’ first complaint. Have you planned anything on the acoustics side?
