Waterstone's Exeter store refit completed whilst still trading.

When Waterstone's decided to refit their busy Exeter, Roman Gate store they knew that closing was not an option. The 8-week refurbishment programme completed whilst the store was still trading over 2 floors was also based upon a new store concept to be rolled out to future refits across the country.

The contract awarded by Oakwood Shopfitting Ltd to Batchelor Electrical Ltd comprised of new electrics to the ground and first floor sales area (750 square metres), complete new lighting package, data installation and dedicated power supplies.

In addition to the main store fit-out was a Costa Coffee concession. Batchelor Electrical Ltd installed a sub-mains distribution board to allow Cost Coffee to run independently..

Case study to follow shortly.
