River Island was in dire need of a lift upgrade (specifically their Glasgow store). They were experiencing constant breakdowns and reliability issues. As their stores get busy and see persistent lift usage, ensuring they have functional lifts is paramount.
The lift industry typically recommends upgrading when your lift is over 15 years old. After this time, lifts can become unreliable as they exceed their typical lifespan. This is even more true with retail stores, as retail lifts are used constantly; wear and tear can quickly set in.
River Island Glasgow’s lift exceeded 15 years of age with no prior upgrades, which was the root cause of the lift’s issues. We knew the practical and necessary solution here was a full lift upgrade. River Island is defined by its charming stores, and they should have lifts that match this.
Luckily, River Island were more than happy to invest.
