Retail Sector Expertise
The depth of our skills and expertise in the retail sector is extensive, and over the years we have carried out shopping projects throughout Britain. These have demonstrated our appreciation of the varying and unique demands placed on building services by retail developments and their developers.
We have been associated with some of the biggest names in retail, including Fenwicks, John Menzies, the Co-op, Debenhams, Harrods, MFI, Burtons and Virgin. Furthermore, many of the projects with which we have been involved have gone on to win civic, design, heritage, and other awards. These include Walsall Shopping Centre, Bromley Town Centre, Waterside Shopping Centre in Lincoln, the Mill Gate Centre at Bury, and the Brent Cross Centre that has regularly set standards for others to follow, with awards from the British Council of Shopping Centres as proof.
Our expertise embraces a total service, from major infrastructure and total planning, to construction and refurbishment of new centres and malls. It also includes change of emphasis from department stores to multi-tenanted developments, pre-acquisition surveys for clients contemplating extending their retail portfolios and ongoing maintenance and management.
Our detailed knowledge of access and security systems, smoke, fire and ventilation equipment, and lifts and escalators, is exploited to the full by clients seeking to provide the shopping public with the finest facilities possible.
