ECOFUEL™ founder Janis helping a customer during a B&Q store visit in January 2025.

Five Years with B&Q. Come and Say Hello.

Oct 26, 2026Janis Vitols

Last January, I visited eight B&Q stores across Ireland. What stayed with me most wasn't simply seeing ECOFUEL™ products on the shelves. It was the people.

Meeting the store teams, speaking with customers, answering questions and hearing their experiences made those visits genuinely memorable.

Our partnership with B&Q began in 2021. For ECOFUEL™, it opened a new chapter and an opportunity to bring our products to more customers across Ireland.

Five years on, those personal connections still matter.

We're heading back into store

This November, I'll be returning to nine B&Q stores to celebrate five years together.

It's a chance to thank the B&Q teams for their support, catch up with familiar faces and meet new customers. It's also an opportunity to listen, learn and understand what people want from their fires.

Whether you're choosing firewood for your stove, curious about EcoBriquettes™, or simply have a question about getting the best from your fuel, come and have a chat.

Where to meet us

We'll be visiting the following B&Q stores between 6 November and 5 December 2026.
