Fresh and Proper – Fordham

The Jordon Group have recently taken on a brilliant shop unit full conversion partnering with owner Josh James. We are so happy to be a part of the process from the shell it once was to a thriving store!

The Jordon Group seamlessly put together the big and minor details including Shelving, Joinery, Ceiling, Shopfront, Lighting, and in true Jordon style, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. We wish to use the best quality and most efficient equipment on the market, so for this project we used the Arneg Osaka Air Patented Low Energy cases with Digital Low Energy Condensing Units. We also used Daikin Underslung VRV Air Conditioning.

The Fresh and Proper store not only provided a place for local shoppers to buy their essential items, but offer a small in-store bakery, office and warehouse for stock. Fresh and Proper are all co-branded with Morrisons! We are sure this will be very popular with the local residents.

We are delighted to help bring such a brilliant little asset to the village of Fordham. Thank you to Josh James for trusting us as your fit out specialists on this store, we are sure it will be a thriving success!

The Venue – Center Parcs Woburn Forest

We have just had the privilege of completely refurbishing ‘The Venue’, conference and event centre, based at Center Parcs, Woburn Forest.

Set in 365 acres of beautiful, tranquil woodland, Center Parcs Woburn Forest is absolutely spot on for team building events and all kinds of corporate functions, from larger conferences, product launches and presentations, down to smaller seminars, training session and board meetings.

A superb purpose-built conference centre, The Venue, is a paragon of contemporary style and hi-tech modern facilities. There are 9 suites which when combined have capacity for 600 delegates in theatre style or for a gala dinner.

There’s no doubt about it, Center Parcs Woburn Forest absolutely rocks for team building, and we are delighted to have been a part of the team to modernise this beautiful events centre.

Guy Warner teams up with Morrisons

Here at The Jordon Group, we are delighted to have delivered Guy Warner’s latest Upton-Upon-Severn site in Worcestershire, which saw Morrisons partner with the award-winning retailer to create a new dual-branded concept store. ‘Together With Morrisons’ is a partnership for larger convenience stores over 3,000sq ft, which sees them champion local products, as well as carrying Morrisons’ own brand.

“Upton-Upon-Severn is an entirely new brand proposition,” explains Guy. “The work that’s gone in on the brand, the customer journey, the components of the look and the feel of the store are all brand new and have taken a lot of time to come together.”

Fresh produce is a major focus, as are beers, wines and spirits. He claims that fresh foods is a core part of the offer and that local food is at the pinnacle of that. He is working with 71 local producers and the shop boasts over 700 local lines.

Another focal point is the store’s food to go offer. “Within this store we’ve got a serve over food to go proposition and a drinks bar,” says Guy. “We’ve pedalled our own ship on carbonated slush and coffee and brought those all under our own [Warner’s] brand because we felt if we’re going to actually embrace the brand then why wouldn’t you want to bring under that brand the USPs of what you do, rather than immediately inserting other brands.”

Guy has embraced new technology at the new store. “There are a few technological things we’ve done to try to make the operation more efficient, both for us and the consumer,” he says. “We’ve put ESELs [electronic shelf edge labels] into the store, which is a new thing for us and represents a substantial investment,” he says. “We also have a lot of media screens in the store.”
The store has an extensive solar panel installation on the roof. “It was always a good return on investment case, but since we made the decision to do it, energy prices have doubled, so it’s become doubly compelling!” says Guy.

He claims that the town was “crying out for a store” and he wanted his store to become a destination outlet. “There genuinely was a challenge to do a shop there,” he says. “It’s very early days, but seeing the customer reaction in the first week, I think that what we’ve put forward is going to do all the things we want it to because there have been a lot of trolleys going around the store”.

We would like to wish Guy and the team the very best of luck with the new concept store and thank them for choosing us as their shopfitting specialists.

SPAR Petrol Forecourt Install Heat Recovery System to provide free hot water for COSTA and SUBWAY 

A SPAR petrol forecourt in Leicester which we have recently fitted-out has installed a Heat Recovery system connected to a Daikin CVP system. The system provides all the hot water needs for the busy SUBWAY and COSTA outlets in addition to the rest and staff facilities. The system is the smallest one we supply and has a 50-litre storage capacity with a 3kW internal heat exchanger which can recharge the tank every 50 minutes. The heat exchanger is double twin wall design which ensures that even in a failure situation that the refrigerant and water can never come into contact with one another. This is a legal requirement under EN1717 for any business handling food. The system is simplicity itself, maintenance free, having no moving parts it is highly efficient due to the innovative design of the heat exchangers that can remove up to 100% of the energy produced by the refrigeration plant. The system was fitted with an optional heat meter that monitors the real time hot water usage giving SPAR accurate details of the cost savings the system is delivering.
The annual energy saving for providing the 384,000 litre of free hot water is over 18,600 kWh.

The annual cost saving is over £2000 per annum giving a payback of under two years.

SPAR can now also boast a reduction in its carbon footprint of 10 tonnes of carbon a year.

The Jordon Group can supply and install Heat Recovery Systems for any working environment which will provide free hot water and huge energy reductions. For more information or a free site survey and quotation, contact us today!

Nisa, Highlands of Royston

Well-known and successful forecourt retailer the Highland Group has signed a deal to be supplied by Nisa Retail.

The group, run by father and son team Steve and Tom Highland, agreed terms and commenced trading with Nisa in April, at the height of the Covid-19 crisis.

The group, which currently operates four forecourts, has initially moved its business in Royston, Herts, across to Nisa and the store has been converted to Nisa’s Evolution format and fascia.

Highlands of Royston, Greenfields Service Station operates on the A505 dual carriageway. The site has recently been extended and renovated by the Jordon Group, to 2,000 sq.ft. In addition to the new store which offers a far superior range of food to go and essentials, a new in store bakery has been fitted. This, along with the new Nisa partnership allows them to support all the local villages as well as the commuters using the A505.

Tom Highland believes the addition of the new extended range available through Nisa, including access to more than 2,000 Co-op own brand products, will take the store to the next level.

Tom said: “Having such a vast range of own-brand products with a strong name that people know and trust, has helped us grow the shop sales not only in areas where we were already strong, but also in new areas such as fresh produce where we have struggled in the past.”

Since expanding the shop and enhancing the range in the Royston store, sales have increased by 100% with plans for further growth as shoppers become increasingly aware of the improved offer available instore.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Highland Group for choosing us as their fit-out contractors and wish them the very best with the new venture!

“We’ve worked really hard on the plans for this store. I really want people to walk in and get a good first impression as soon as they enter with a real wow factor.”
He continued…
“I want the store to have a modern feel but one that is different and unique and that the store is a place where shoppers enjoy their experience.”

He said: “We are situated in the middle of a large residential area and have a college directly across the road and so we plan to become an important part of the community, employing local people, serving the local area, working with them and supporting them with local causes.

“I have lots of ideas about how we will get involved and I’m looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming our shoppers.”
We would like to thank Siva for choosing us as his shopfitting contractors and wish him the very best with his new convenience store.
