We have a track record for delivering projects for a range of retail clients from major high street stores to supermarkets and leisure spaces.

As the high streets across the UK work to recover from the impact of covid and the cost-of-living crisis, shutting up shop to accommodate a refurbishment project or other essential work isn’t always an option. That’s why you need to work with experts who know how to handle live environments and can help you keep business running as usual.

Our team is perfectly placed to deliver and we’re able to draw on the expertise and experience of the entire Morris & Spottiswood group of companies, allowing us to bring together the skills and resources to create a tailor-made offering that meets your exact needs. In other words, we can offer everything you need for every stage of your project, from the architectural and design services provided by McLennan to energy efficiency and savings via Livingston M&E services. This also extends across the multiple sectors we cover as a group – from finance and production and manufacturing to education and healthcare. So, by working with us, you’re working with a range of experts, meaning you don’t have to shop around for other companies to deliver different parts of your project.

To further strengthen our offering, we’ve recently welcomed Richard Oldfield to the team as Retail Sector Director. With an enviable track record, from Civil Engineering to working in Retail Construction and fitout for over 15 years, working with some of UK's largest supermarkets and retail chains, Richard has extensive experience in handling large-scale, high-value projects, fast-track fitouts and rollout programmes. He’ll be helping grow and develop the Morris & Spottiswood Retail team and working closely with new and existing clients to strengthen our relationships and ensure that we consistently deliver the exceptional levels of service our clients expect from us.

“It’s an exciting, but challenging, time for everyone in retail – with increased competition from online retailers, bricks and mortar outlets can’t afford to be complacent. Whether that’s in terms of the look and feel of their stores, or sustainability and energy efficiency, if you’re planning a project, we have the talent, skills, and resources to deliver from planning to completion.

“Whilst people associate Morris & Spottiswood with a range of commercial projects, from banking to manufacturing, not everyone is necessarily aware of the fantastic work we’ve been doing in the retail sector, I’m looking forward to changing that and working with our clients – old and new – on some innovative and inspiring retail projects going forward,” says Richard.

One of the biggest benefits of working with us is our ability to work within a live environment. We know what’s needed to create a space where our teams can work, whilst your customers shop in safety, and we’ve got the experience to keep disruption to your operation as minimal as possible.

And, because we’re able to draw on the experience and expertise of the entire Morris & Spottiswood group of companies, we offer support from start to finish. From feasibility planning and architectural design to project management and the delivery of everything from M&E to fit-out, we’re your one-stop shop for all aspects of your retail project. Plus, because we have sites across the UK, we’re perfectly placed to work on projects nationwide, as well as draw on trusted local teams and supply chains to help keep things running on time and to budget.

As you would expect from us, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do – so you have the additional peace of mind that comes with knowing that our work for you fits in with your sustainability goals and may even exceed them. From supporting your critical environment infrastructure, to delivering your energy efficiency and energy-saving strategies by replacing boilers, upgrading to LED lights and installing BMS controls, to partnering with you on your journey to sustainability, we can help make your green goals a practical reality.

Our retail offering spans the spectrum from food to fashion to car showrooms to hospitality and leisure. From department stores to supermarkets and everything in between, we’ve got the experience to deliver every type and size of retail project, whilst putting the customer experience at the heart of everything we do. Let’s explore what we can do together.
