FOOTFALL UP
The first quarter of 2015 has
shown shoppers to be in a
more buoyant mood with
footfall across UK shopping
centres rising for two
consecutive months. Footfall in
February increased 2.0% on
January and Marchs figures
were up 0.9% on February with
shopping centres in the North
West showing the greatest
increase at 6.8%.
Edward Cooke, Director of
Policy and Public Affairs,
British Council of Shopping
Centres (BCSC) commented It
is a positive story for shopping
centres with footfall up for the
past two months of this year,
reflecting a growing confidence
amongst consumers. For the
first time since the start of the
recession, we are seeing
consumers enjoying larger
shopping budgets with wage
inflation finally outstripping
price inflation. It is also
encouraging to see strong
footfall growth across regional
shopping centres with
shopping centres in the North
West leading and the East
Midlands, North East and
Yorkshire and The Humber
regions all showing healthy
footfall increases
in March.

in bricks-and-mortar stores and
vice-versa, so that they can offer
consumers a comprehensive and
consistent shopping experience across
all channels.
However, while online platforms offer
retailers many opportunities, brands
also need to be aware of the risks
associated with digital platforms. For
example, Walmart, the US supermarket,
offered to match select online prices of
Playstation 4 consoles, but its cashiers
were quickly presented with Amazon
listings showing $400 consoles being
offered for $100 or less, revealing a
surprising amount of counterfeit
products available online. Cases like this
not only demonstrate how online
counterfeits can have a negative impact
on a retailers revenue, but also how

they can be
detrimental to brand reputation.
Brands must therefore ensure they
are protected from threats like these by
monitoring for any online
infringements and taking action where
necessary to protect their intellectual
property. Whats more, retailers need to
educate their customers on what to
look out for when shopping online to
make sure they dont get conned by
seemingly attractive offers.

Timbmet

www.timbmet.co.uk
Timbmet, one of the UKs leading distributors of timber and timber related products, has been
appointed exclusive UK distributor for the GreenPanel range from Finsa.
GreenPanel, an ultralight structural board, consists of two thin MDF faces and an interior also
made of thin MDF Fibranor, arranged in an innovative grid-like pattern. The result is maximum
resistance with minimum weight.
Specially developed for applications requiring the demanding combination of broad thicknesses,
low weight, high stability and high resistance, it can be easily adapted to suit the most demanding
projects. Suggested applications range from home furniture, worktops, table tops, ceilings, wall
panels and partitions, to caravans, boats, thick flooring, stands for fairs, shopfittings and interior
decoration.
Sharing Timbmets commitment to environmental protection, GreenPanel uses less raw material
than traditional thicker boards without compromising technical specification and performance.
For extra convenience, it allows the use of standard fittings, and can be edged, without edge
support, up to 60mm thickness using the same machinery often used for other boards derived
from wood; Finsa recommends ABS or PVC in 2mm thickness.

Finaspan's product Waves, was chosen for the interior design of the
Courthouse in Lige, Belgium. Waves boards were placed in the common areas,
the lawyers cloakroom, and the courtrooms. Waves Oak Steam was selected by
the client for its contemporary appearance, subtle grey colouring and ease of
application. This same product has been selected by TP Bennett for the interior
fitting of the Deutsche Bank, Dublin in 2014.
Waves is a range of four Oak and a single Walnut pattern of veneered MDF
panels colourwashed and then pre finished with a five coat UV lacquer system
to give real durability to the surface. The MDF core is moisture resistant giving
that added security and confidence in areas where any accidental spillage
might damage furniture.

As an addition to their ever growing range of linears, MJ Lighting has introduced three of
their LightLine specifically for the display cabinet market. They use their neat mounting
rod system so all wiring is out of sight and as always can be supplied to exact length &

(which is why they are an installers favourite too). Like their LightLine range there are
many spec. options, which will allow you to hit all retail requirements covering colour
temperature (2700-6500k), light output (260 lm/m 2200 lm/m) and CRI. They are
available in black, white or anodised aluminium as standard, but they can manufacture to
any RAL number for even the most specific of display requirements. Oh, and controls?
Have you seen their other work? Theyve got that covered, too.

Design & Technology in Estate Agents Shops. What makes Foxtons Estate Agents unique?
Was it when in 2001 myself and Chris decided to look for what was not on the high street and we
were the first to create a living billboard, with no facia and a pure glass shop fronts, moving
plasma screens selling properties, or the fact that constant lighting and screen development from
slim fluorescent battens, fibre optics to LEDS and slim LCDs have transformed the Brand
architecture, along with iconic furniture. There is also the symbolism and culture perhaps evoked
by the very British symbol the mini parked outside the branches. Whatever you feel about the
design and service then and now of Foxtons the original design has formed a blue print for the
design of estate agents worldwide, we now have some exciting new designs in this sector, and
without a client of vision and monies only certain levels of creativity can be reached. Jon Hunt is
and was inspirational client.
How do we make Marsh & Parsons Estate Agents unique after Foxtons? Besides the man running
the company Peter Rollings. Being different and innovative is key, the concept had to be totally
modern yet classic with a twist, reflecting our cultural favourites like iphones as giant touch
screens on the wall, soft and welcoming materials. Great simple design transforms every bodies
lives and sophisticated technology enhances it. Developing that strategy is our passion.

Some of the most successful
projects I've worked on are ones where
we sit down with a piece of paper and
begin sketching ideas.
When clients see their ideas come to
life before them, it confirms you
understand their brief and enables
them to offer instant input. We can
then move these initial ideas forward,
confident that we have captured the
essence of what they want.
These early meetings are vital to
gaining trust and understanding from
both sides. This type of collaboration
ensures we're all on the same page
from the get go and set off in the
right direction. A1
