A BROMSGROVE interior design firm has been transformed thanks to a professional business ma-keover.

Northstar Consulting hosted an event which gave companies the opportunity to transform their image.

And Pacific Interiors, in the Strand, took up the offer.

Representatives from a leading market intelligence consultancy - Dunnhumby - jumped on board to help the soft furnishings and interior design retailer.

Ten teams, who were all set up with the support of the Prince's Trust, took part.

Each group had a £500 spending budget and 24 hours to make a significant, lasting and positive contribution to the business.

The Dunnhumby team helped Pacific Interiors by completely re-organising the shop floor and sharing marketing ideas.

Owner Lisa Edwards said: "The team were really inspirational and useful.

"They've filled our heads with lots of exciting ideas.

"If we were given the opportunity to take part again I'd definitely say yes.

"The team of five experts from Dunnhumby were extremely knowledgeable and experienced.

"It's a little to early to say if trade has improved but I'm confident the makeover will be a boost for Pacific Interiors."

The shop has been running for a year.

The challenge on Friday April 20, ended with a black tie presentation on Saturday April 21.
