Retail and Leisure

Creating buildings in the retail and leisure sectors are firm favourites within the Alcema team. We know the importance of building a brand and creating signature marks which stamp quality and kudos on to every build. The need to appeal to customers new and old is a shared goal. We work on plans which will impress from the moment a building is within eye contact to leaving the user ready to leave an exemplary review on exit. Creating leading designs inside and out is by no means secondary to the functionality required in the original brief.

Consumer expectations are constantly changing, trends in décor and provisions shift. We know that the leisure industry is constantly expected to delight people with new and fresh ideas regarding products, services and customer experience, and the aesthetics of a building are firmly included in this.

We have excellent relationships with our clients in this sector as we always have their bottom line and future growth in mind. We align ourselves to work with them to keep their infrastructure ahead of their competitors in terms of build quality, design and functionality. In order to get ahead, and stay ahead, you have to present your business as fresh, contemporary and having an edge. Something the Alcema team endeavours to provide as a business as well as deliver with every build we complete.

Building expertise that elevates your brand

In order for businesses to protect their brands they have to be flexible and agile to cope with changes in economical and social pressures. The world has experienced phenomenal times over recent years. The pandemic, wars, increased costs in fuel and general inflation, demands on supply chains, the list is endless, but we are proud to have supported many businesses during these times. Alcema’s construction projects have carried on regardless and time frames and budgets have continued to be met. This has been incredibly important to the leisure industry as this has been one of the hardest hit by shrinking consumer incomes.

The Alcema team works alongside clients with a genuine care and consideration for current demands and global changes. We do all we can to work with clients to ensure existing customers are retained as well as new customers attracted. We strive to help our clients experience growth even when operating in the harshest of economic climates. Buildings which are a pleasure to enter and spend time in will encourage customer loyalty as well as attract new ones through the door. People talk. We make sure they say the right things regarding all things the Alcema team can influence.

Refurbishment, development and redevelopment

Ranging from refurbishments and simple fit out through to full redevelopments, our team have the experience and skillset to execute these operations to the highest standard. We bring new concept designs to life and ensure brand identities are preserved or enhanced for established businesses. We inject life and inspiration for new, set-up companies in need of guidance and logistics of new builds. Working closely alongside governing bodies we provide support and consult on many legal facets often not known or understood by clients at the outset of their business plan.

We have many clients who repeatedly come to us to strengthen their brand in existing geographies by freshening buildings or repurposing parts of these. Equally we are often asked to create new builds in new geographies as expansion plans take shape. Alcema is trusted to deliver in line with any specification and with the highest expertise, utmost integrity and in a professional manner. A collaborative approach means our clients work with us to identify and explore new opportunities for them and cost these to assess viability. We consult and we manage, we grow businesses and we inspire. It’s what we do. Our customers tell us this and we appreciate this feedback without becoming complacent.

We deliver our projects across a broad range of well known retail and leisure brands and manage our work activities with minimal disruptions to staff and customers. Alongside our meticulous planning to deliver to agreed time frames, we ensure that all safety measures are put into place in live environments, with full consideration of the public domain that we so often come across.

In the industries of retail and leisure, where customer care is of utmost importance, Alcema is proud to have the very same ethos in place, from project inception, throughout delivery and once complete. For each and every project and client.
