Shop fittings are an integral part of your store. They are relied upon not only for their ability to promote and display items well but to also be secure and alleviate any concerns of safety within the shopping environment. While each business requires an assured quality of store furniture, for some businesses, such as charity shops, it is fundamental for their continued operation.
Charity shops remain one of the UK’s favourite type of store. They are ubiquitous in every town and continue to collectively raise millions of pounds each year for a variety of good causes. While their retail style shares similarities with many other stores, they are a drastically different operation, with unique needs from their fittings and shelving. Much of this comes from their reliance on donated goods. These generous offerings change every day and every bag that is brought into the shop is entirely different. This means that the structure and furniture of the shop must accommodate.
Versatile fittings, such as slatwall panels and perforated wall bays, are invaluable because they allow for quick and simple changes to be made with ease. A shop may need to display an array of delicate crockery one week and then teddy bears the next. Not only do these items benefit from different types of showcase to support their appeal but they also have different structural needs. Teddy bears will require greater depth and height to their shelving, while crockery, especially valuable items, will require strong fixtures or even their own display cabinet. This everchanging stock requires high-quality shop fittings to assure the store meets expected safety requirements, even in the face of unexpected stock.
Outside of the product itself, part of meeting the needs of your shop fittings is the service and expertise. Running a business, whether a large retail outlet or a small charity shop is a continuously demanding experience. We understand that some businesses will want to know which fittings will work best for their environment, which is why we offer our consideration upon enquiry. If you are unsure of the most appropriate fitting or shelving option for your shop, then reach out to a member of our team.
This individual consideration extends to our handmade counters and furniture, which are built especially for your shop’s space and requirements. We have a team of trusted manufacturers who will build store furniture to your specifications, even something as large as a shop counter.
