Valuable insights from our work with Tesco

There are only a small number of companies which could claim to be as well known or easily recognised as Tesco. This is a status they have achieved for a number of reasons, with the most visible being just how strongly and seriously they take their branding.

We were well aware of the world class standards Tesco insisted on in all presentations of their branding. It was therefore a distinct honour for us to be appointed by them to fabricate and install their “Click & Collect” steel canopies across the country.

Whilst most of us have become familiar with online shopping, Tesco’s “Click & Collect” system was a highly innovative development when first released. As the name suggests, the system allows shoppers to place orders for their items online, with their groceries then being prepared and ready for them to collect.

In order to ensure the highest level of success with the new service Tesco decided to have steel canopies created and installed at key stores. The purpose of the structures was to protect both customers and their purchases from the fairly frequently bad weather conditions we have. Ultimately this results in a better customer experience.

In terms of a purely visual level we were truly honoured to have been appointed by such a prestigious company. We’re also delighted that our work is of very direct and practical service to Tesco’s customers.

We’d like to share some insights into the process of creating the canopies to illustrate how we work in full co-operation with our clients.

As one of the leading names for the fabrication and installation of steel products such as canopies, we have a strict set of Health and Safety guidelines we always adherence to. This is just as true of Tesco. In order to ensure that our own approach and regulations were compliant with expectations on site as we installed the new structures, our team underwent the exact same Health and Safety training which is given to all Tesco staff.

We believe the above shows our overriding commitment to our clients. Our team will happily undertake any and all preparations required in order to ensure that work is carried out exactly as a client has planned. In respect of this particular example, the time spent with Tesco undertaking their training has had far reaching benefits, as we’ve taken many long term insights away from the experience. This allows us to even further enhance our work for you.
