Heritage and historic buildings entail sensitive treatment to balance the requirements of retailing and preserving the character and ambience of the setting. With this in mind we design souvenir shops which blend perfectly with the surroundings and are appropriate to the period of the building whether it be a castle, cathedral or a historic house. At Shop Services we understand the requirements of being able to work in an environment with modern retail equipment to maximise visitor spending potential and essentially maintain the look of point of sale area.
Gaining knowledge of any building which is to undergo a refurbishment, is very important, and especially so when considering the style of furniture to be fitted, so meeting and liasing with the customer is paramount to be able fulfil every requirement and standard set.
In the UK restoration work has become increasingly important in our grand cathedrals and abbeys, and the addition of sensitively styled and successful gift shops can be a major source of revenue when designed to blend in with a buildings original features.
