Comfortable customers stay and spend

The right environment can be the difference between a sale and a customer walking out. Shoppers do not stay in a store that feels too hot or too cold. From high-street boutiques to national superstore estates, we install systems that hold the shop floor at the right temperature whatever the British weather does.

We cover the whole store: shop floor, adjoining offices, stock rooms, showrooms and training rooms. Where parts of the store need to run colder, as in supermarkets, we provide the refrigeration too.

Replace an old system, cut the bills

Large retailers have sustainability obligations, and we specify for them. Our systems use environmentally neutral refrigerants and the latest energy-efficient equipment for reduced CO2 emissions. Replacing an outdated system in a retail space can pay for itself in energy savings within three to five years. We have delivered exactly this across national estates, store by store, without disrupting trading.
