Editor: Lawrence Cutler

August 2015 Legend Exhibitions Ltd, the organisation behind

Retail Design Expo and RBTE has announced the

launch of a major new event - Retail Digital Signage

Expo – a dedicated new show located at Olympia,

between RBTE and Retail Design Expo.

Retail Digital Signage Expo will provide a platform

for all the suppliers of digital signage & screens,

along with the other vital players in the digital

signage eco-system to come together under one

roof, at Europe’s largest annual gathering of

retailers, brand owners, agencies, designers and

more - all looking for solutions, ideas and

inspirations.

Annie Swift, Event Director, Retail Design Expo, said,

“This is the event that the retail industry has been

waiting for! We are embracing the booming digital

signage market. The prospects for the huge global

digital signage market are bright being currently

estimated at USD 13.25 billion and expected to

grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2014 to 2020*. The

retail sector makes up the largest proportion of this

spend and is where the greatest investment is

forecast to be made in the name of customer

engagement where screens come into their own.

This is a fantastic opportunity for exhibitors. We had

a ready made audience of over 12,000 visitors who

visited RBTE and RDE this March including all the

key decision makers and influencers for this type of

investment – within retail it is the teams from

marketing, IT, design/format, eCommerce,

operations and visual merchandising. In addition

there are thousands of brand marketers, design

agencies, architects and shopfitters who

recommend and specify screens solutions. Never

before have so many of all the key retail digital

signage stakeholders been together in the same

place at the same time.”

Retail Digital Signage Expo will be a dedicated event

featuring the entire range of suppliers, from the

screens and kiosks, to content management, media

players, networking solutions and more, providing a

one-stop shop for digital signage and screens. In

addition to the wide range of vendors, the topic will

be widely addressed in both the Retail Design Expo

and RBTE Conference programmes.

Swift continued, “the way consumers shop is

constantly changing and digital signage provides an

essential tool for retailers to connect with their

customers (and the store staff). It has numerous

applications; brand building; advertising; in-store

entertainment; staff communication & training;

magic mirrors; products reviews, to name a few –

with the benefit of speed and agility that allows

retailers to react in real time to changing market

conditions, stock availability, the time of day or a

competitor’s activity, delivering a whole new

customer experience.”

*Grand View Research

RBTE, Retail Design Expo and Retail Digital Signage

Expo will be held at London’s Olympia, 9 & 10th

March 2016.

Mid West Displays have had

the recent pleasure of working

with Martin & Co at their

Witney Office giving their

window display a ‘face-lift’.

Mid West worked closely with

Martin & Co to create an

overall look for them that was

both functional and

aesthetically pleasing. The

final design combined A4

portrait and A3 landscape

bevelled edge light panels

from their Core range, with

corporate banding on each

panel.

Here’s what the client had to

say:

“I just wanted to publicly thank

you and share my experiences

of selecting Mid-West Displays

to supply and fit the window

display at our market leading

Witney branch. We

approached a number of

different providers, but Mid

West Displays stood out from

the crowd with their eye-

catching mock-ups, quality

products and competitive

pricing. Better still, they were

very accommodating as we

continually revised our designs

until we finally decided on

what we wanted.

“I was particularly impressed

with the installation process;

Scott was punctual, polite, tidy

and did a thoroughly

professional job.

Needless to say we’re

delighted and we will definitely

be speaking to Mid West

Displays again when we need

to refit another office.

Our new display looks

fantastic – thank you!”

Brendan Kay BSc(Hons) PG

Dip MARLA

Managing Director

Send Mid West Displays a

photo of your window(s) with

the glass size and the display

styles you prefer and they will

provide a mock-up design of

your window and a quote for

your consideration, this is a

completely free service.

Dublin’s new Irish Whiskey Museum appoints W&Co to

supply 14 metre wide LED feature wall

In the heart of Dublin’s beautiful city

a brand new historical and

interactive museum has opened its

doors. Based on the traditional and

vivid history of Dublin’s industrial

past, specifically of alcoholic

beverages and a long association

with the drinks industry, Ireland’s

first whiskey museum opened in

autumn 2014.

The museum features a series of

exhibitions detailing the history of

whiskey distilling in Ireland through

the use of interactive technology and

actors. Visitors also have the

opportunity to sample the Irish

whiskies in a special tasting room.

In the summer of 2014 W&Co was

approached by two Irish companies,

MJ Architecture & The Irish Pub

Company, to supply an LED feature

lighting display for the museum’s

tasting room. W&Co’s knowledge

and expertise were utilised to

produce a 14 metre wide LED

feature wall.

The designer’s brief was to supply

LED light panels that would be easy

to install, could be recessed behind

shelving and produced

a warm amber colour

that would complement

the backlit whiskey

bottles on the shelves.

The wall where the LED

light panels were to be

mounted had a convex

curve, therefore, the

panels were

manufactured in twelve

1.2 metre wide sections

to fit the shape.

Television screens and

whiskey bottles were

placed on the shelves

and backlit by the

diffused LED light

panels.

After two months of

manufacturing trials

and preparing translucent vinyl

swatches, the client decided to use a

warm orange filter film to be applied

to the LED panels to increase the

warmth of the lighting. The light

panels were supplied with LEDs

mounted to both long edges, along

with a dimmable transformer to

power all the LED light panels

simultaneously.

The store officially opened around

autumn 2014 and has been a huge

success and is expected to generate

around 80,000 visitors in its first

year. Comments from the client

were very positive . Sean Ryan,

interior design at MJ Architecture

wrote, “I am very happy with the

finished result of the whiskey wall, it

conveys exactly what I intended with

the design concept. Many people

have commented on how great the

effect is so thanks for your

assistance on the project.”

Chargeable

lithium

battery

powers

backlit LED

pavement

sign from

Display

Wizard

The LED street display is a new

concept in pavement sign, unique

in the fact that it is a permanent

backlit sign that houses

changeable marketing messages

and is secure enough to be left

outside an establishment at

darker times of the day.

This product is exclusively owned

in the UK by Display Wizard Ltd

and is bound to help any

organisation set themselves apart

from the competition.

This LED pavement sign has an

IP54 rating meaning it's highly

weather-resistant for outdoor

applications but can also be used

for indoor promotion if required. It

can fit easily-changeable A1 or A2

posters, whilst it also has optional

print available below the poster

area for a permanent brand name

or logo.

The sign is powered by a

chargeable lithium battery that

delivers striking, even illumination

to help stand out on the high

street. The battery life is an

impressive 8-10 hours and it

comes with a transformer for

charging during the day.

As the LED street display has not

been widely used in the UK

before, it provides a unique

advertising tool to ensure that a

business can promote their brand

all hours of the day.

CJ Retail Solutions delivers Volkswagen roll-out

Movetech UK (Part of the British

Turntable Group) have successfully

had their building plans approved for

their brand new £500,000

redevelopment scheme at their head

office site on Emblem Street in

Bolton, Greater Manchester.

The planning application for the new

manufacturing and headquarters

facility was presented to Bolton

Council earlier this year and has

recently been approved by the

borough’s planning department,

much to the delight of Tim Entwistle,

Movetech UK's managing director.

Tim says: "With the successful

planning application now in place,

we can now move forward with this

project, the biggest infrastructure

redevelopment since the company

began business.

"We have come a long way since we

first started trading back in 1959,

initially as Bolton Turntable. The

company was founded on a solitary

request for a car showroom

turntable by my late grandfather

John Entwistle senior. Since then,

Movetech UK has continued to grow

and develop at a rapid pace and we

have seen our portfolio of products

and materials handling expertise

expand beyond all recognition of the

original business plan.

"I often get asked if the company

ever stops and just sits back and

has a 'break', and quite simply my

answer is always no, why would we?

Our customers continually present

us with challenges for new products

and materials handling solutions

and, because we aim to please, we

must strive to progress. Research

and development has been at the

core of our success to date and this

major redevelopment is

consequently vital for future

progression.

"Recognising that our needs have

changed and that we had outgrown

our current facilities, some years ago

the whole site on Emblem Street,

Bolton was put up for sale, and the

company went on the lookout for a

new site to relocate to. As time

passed we started to comprehend

more about the problems of

business disruption that such a

move would incur and the concept to

redevelop the existing site was

brought to the table. This route was

attractive as it allowed a ‘staged’

development process without major

business disruption and most

importantly protected our greatest

business asset, the people who work

here.

"The company has evolved

significantly over the last 55 years,

and Movetech UK invested in

continual improvements to the

existing site, but none of these could

address the issues of improved

access and craneage that are

necessary for our future

development.

"The plan to redevelop the site is

split into several phases. The first

course of action, which the company

has already completed, was to

relocate the entire office facilities

into temporary rented

accommodation adjacent to the

existing site. Now this has been

completed, the old office location is

being completely demolished to

make way for a larger car parking

area.

"Our current facility is divided into

two main adjoining areas, the

bottom shop and top shop. The

bottom shop is now being cleared of

all storage and stock to make way

for the major construction works.

The complete redevelopment of the

bottom shop to produce a modern

high bay manufacturing facility with

improved access and overhead

craneage with significantly increased

lifting height and quadrupled lifting

capacity. This will give all the

facilities necessary for fabrication

and testing of our bespoke materials

handling equipment. As soon as this

is functional production will move

into it with minimum disruption.

"The next part of the redevelopment

phase will be to construct the new

office location within the current top

shop, which production will have

then vacated. It is intended that this

will be built on a raised floor to free

valuable space at ground level whilst

offering a modern welcoming work

environment for our dedicated office

staff. Office floor space will be

increased by around a third to allow

for future expansion.

"The planned redevelopment has a

proposed five year time scale and

Movetech UK are currently on track

to achieving this target. This is a

long programme that we are anxious

to complete but one that allows us

to commit to our customers with

minimum disruption and continue to

invest in the future of our staff just

as they commit to us, a partnership

that has been the cornerstone of our

past success and one that we must

build upon for our future."

Further news on the project will be

updated as the development

progresses.

arken POP have made further

enhancements to their Purelite LED

panel, an LED light source display

which is perfect for the retail

environment.

Designed to be incorporated into the

interior design of retail stores and

create a striking feature, the Purelite

LED panel can be used in a wide

range of applications. Along with

providing stunning back–illumination

for products, they can be used for

illuminating flooring sections, within

freestanding displays or to illuminate

shelving and counters.

The Purelite panel’s aluminium

construction is supplied in a powder

coated white finish which now

features on all sides to offer an

enhanced visual finish, flexibility for

retail designers, as well as display

and shop fitting companies. The

fully assembled LED light panel can

be supplied to a maximum of

3000mm x 1200mm dimensions,

and can be used to create a huge

‘wall of light’, if required.

The product’s control gear and

optional low voltage dimmer provide

outstanding control of brightness

levels, and additional wall brackets

will help ease of installation, access

and end-of-life removal.

“These unique features give our

Purelite LED panel a point of

difference and make it a highly

suitable and cost effective means of

providing illumination for almost any

application within the retail space,”

says arken’s Business Development

Director Paul Smart.
