Exelby Services Redevelopment – A19 Southbound between York and Middlesborough

Welcome to the new and completely redeveloped Exelby Services on the A19 Southbound!

Exelby Services is a trunk road service area which comprises of a Shell PFS with HGV bunkering forecourt a retail shop and truck park.

The site underwent extensive redevelopment in late 2023 which included an extension of the shop, truck park and car parking facilities.

The Jordon Group had the honour of carrying the complete fit-out works from the floor to the ceiling of the retail store.

The extension to the shop building featured a flat roof which allowed for the installation of a 60 kW solar PV system to help reduce the site’s electricity costs, as well as greatly reducing the operational carbon footprint of the site.

The new truck park was built using a HRA tarmac to cope with the high usage and heavy impact, wear and tear from the 40+ HGV trucks that use the truck park each night.

A high-tech CCTV and ANPR gated access system with full perimeter lighting means the truck park, despite not being manned, is one of the highest security parking facilities in the region.

The shop extension enabled the build and installation of a kitchen prep area and hot food-to-go as well as eat-in offer under the Stone Willy’s Kitchen brand. This exclusive brand and extensive menu cater for every demographic of client, providing a healthy grab and go meal option, as well featuring a relaxed seating area for those who have some extra time to relax with a meal and Costa Coffee of their choice.

 

Managing Director, Rob Exelby commented…

“2024 has seen customer numbers soar and revenue jump way beyond our targets which is great to see along with the additional benefits of the development”.

Our thanks go to Rob and the entire team for choosing us as their fit-out specialists, long may the customer numbers jump and the revenue soar!

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!
