Rainbows Hospice
Fixtures and Fittings for Rainbows Hospice Retail Outlet
24th August 2017 | Retail
Background
Rainbows Hospice is the only hospice in the East Midlands for children and young people. Rainbows is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support. Rainbows depends on fundraising to raise the majority of the money it takes to run the hospice, with their retail outlet stores providing both an important visual reminder of the charity in communities across the East Midlands, as well as vital financial contributions.
Challenge
To take the visual concept created for the new shop in Loughborough, Leicestershire and manufacture all retail fixtures and fittings required. We were given 3 – 4 weeks from design to manufacture and delivery.
Solution
Our Engineering Manager sat down with Karen Bisby, Head of Retail at Rainbows and went through the store concept, what exactly was required and the specifications pertaining to the requirement, the timelines our client and her team were working to and, of course, the available budget.
Following that meeting our Engineering Manager produced all technical drawings for the retail fixtures and fittings which were submitted for our client’s approval. Once approval was given we went into the manufacturing stage.
Results
Working with Rainbows we took the original visual concept and turned it into reality, with this latest outlet store opening on time. JC Metalworks manufactured all of the perimeter wall sections and mid floor fixtures as well as created a bespoke noticeboard for the till-point allowing Rainbows to add quirky messages to shoppers using magnetic letters. A great feature and a particular favourite with Rainbows staff and shoppers alike!

The Flamco Group
Over the last three years we have added significant value to Flamco through consistent supply of quality products. Simple ideas have included adding an ID sticker to each finished cabinet ensuring full traceability. We have also ensured that quality control has been in place across the batches irrespective of the timeline we are working to.

The client was very, very pleased with the result which was not only a practical solution but which also fitted into their brand perfectly. These product display stands perfectly blend eye-catching good looks with the necessary robustness… and we are just about to start a new production run on this stand.

This project is a good example of how we applied our design and creative skills to meet a brief from a client. We engineered this piece to be as cost effective as possible but without compromising on the aesthetics and robust finish needed for this type of display, and everything was installed in good time for the opening.
