Fit-Out Firm Wins Industry Accolades
A Co Antrim based fit-out firm has scooped two coveted UK industry awards.
McCue Interior Fit-Out Solutions, Carrickfergus, won both the Retail Week 'Store Fit-Out Company of the Year' Award for its overall performance and the individual 'Shopfitting Excellence' Award, for its work with client Urban Outfitters, at its Liverpool store.
The company which is renowned for its work with top brands such as Hamleys Toy Store, DW Sports Fitness, Starbucks and many others was awarded the accolades at a glittering ceremony held earlier this week at London’s Hilton Hotel, Park Lane.
This follows on from the success achieved in May, when the company was awarded 'Overall Winner' of the Design Partnership Award, by the National Association of Shopfitters (NAS).
The Retail Week Interior Awards showcase the best UK retail interiors and shop fitting companies for their excellence and innovation and attracts the best in the retail store design industry.
Les McCracken, Managing Director of McCue Fit-Out said: "We are currently working on a number of projects across the UK bringing to life the innovative cutting edge store environments which the various brands we work with demand.
"The Liverpool project for which we won the shop fitting excellence award was our first Urban Outfitters store in GB and follows their distinctive brand image whilst drawing upon elements synonymous to Liverpool such as the Liver Bird and the Warehouse Docks, both of which allowed us the opportunity to showcase our interior fit-out management and specialist joinery skills, within what was at the time, Europe’s largest downtown regeneration project.
"Delivering eye catching work is something we put a premium on and our dedication to excellence in every project has well and truly paid off, as recognised by our success in these national industry awards, of which we are very proud."
John Ryan, Stores Editor, Retail Week said: "The Awards proved to be a fantastic night, bringing together over 650 retail professionals, making it the biggest year in the history of the awards.
"Competition was fierce as entries this year exceeded expectations in terms of quality and quantity. Big winners on the night included Checkland Kindleysides and McCue Interior Fit-Out Solutions."
