Refit Wisdom

The current economic environment means that the pressure is very severely on for those who are continuing to survive in the High Street. Those who are still present are often standing out purely because of their mere presence, but is this sufficient? Wish shopping becoming increasingly competitive there is even more reason to make the "experience" of visiting a real premises rather than a virtual one on line, one to be enjoyed and relished.

Because of this, refitting a professional or retail premises involves more than simple display of merchandise. It is therefore critical to choose a shopfitting partner with specialist knowledge and a willingness to listen to all the needs you, your team and your customers have. Most importantly, skillful planning requires an understanding of working practice within any busy ethical practice.

Areas of particular concern may be:

• Merchandising retail layout for the most effective retail sales
• Ensuring effective supervision of pharmacy only medicines
• How to effectively incorporate a workable consultation room
• Ensuring that the layout of the shop and dispensary does not contravene DDA regulations
• Segregating access to staff facilities to avoid the dispensary becoming a corridor
• Ensuring correct ergonomic planning within the dispensary to avoid injury or strain

In addition to these may be issues relating to the building structure:

Removal of walls, changing ceilings and lighting effects, repositioning doors, shopfronts, signage, flooring levels and finishes.

All of these issues require the expertise of specialists who are more than shelf suppliers but understand the total implications of growing your business through carefully planning, not just for the refit but the needs you have on into the future.
