Retailers seek to create environments that protect and reinforce their brands.  Davis Langdon supports retailing innovation, providing focused consultancy services that turn visions into reality.

We understand the key retail project drivers and strive to create the most positive partnerships with our clients in this sector. We recognise the commercial need for reduced delivery periods from project inception to trading. In this sector, flexibility is especially important, enabling prompt response to any future change. Our experience has given us a thorough understanding of optimum net/gross efficiency, integrated project and distribution objectives, the importance of back of house requirements, and innumerable other factors common to our work in this sector.

In the last ten years we have been appointed on over 100 department store fit-out projects, with a value of over £500 million. Many are luxury stores at the high end of the market, and we secure many repeat commissions. Our role is to encourage and support our retail clients’ creativity, allowing their design team to express the brand’s unique culture within a cost effective and value driven structure.
