Retail Fit-Out Case Studies
CASE STUDY
French Connection - Cotswold Designer Outlet
Working from a shell unit, we delivered the complete internal fit-out of French Connection’s new store at Cotswold Designer Outlet, transforming a blank canvas into a sleek, brand-aligned retail space.
Works included full partitioning to create changing rooms and defined front- and back-of-house areas, plasterboard ceilings, floor preparation and installation of high-spec ceramic tiling to the sales floor with durable vinyl finishes to back-of-house and WC areas. We also installed washroom facilities, a staff kitchenette and coordinated all plumbing requirements.
In addition to installing the shop fixtures, procured by French Connection, we manufactured bespoke display plinths and feature wall elements, delivering a polished, customer-ready environment in line with all centre regulations.
