A fast and effective disposal route for fixtures and fittings in retail stores across the UK and Ireland.

Overview

As the Debenhams brand started a new chapter online, NCM was appointed to provide a sustainable disposal route for remaining fixtures and fittings in stores across the UK and Ireland.

These projects were time sensitive and required meticulous attention to detail as we itemised thousands of assets.

Method

The exclusive online sales called for an extremely tight turnaround, from itemising and cataloguing assets to promoting the sales and adhering to strict timescales to remove all items and hand over the retail units.

The sales included a wide range of fixtures and fittings, custom display and bespoke merchandising units, cafe furniture, seating and catering equipment, POS systems and racking and storage rails.

Results

Given the tight deadlines for many of these sales our team started marketing these exclusive online sales while our operations team was still on-site cataloguing and building the inventory.

We ran targeted campaigns local to each store area, attracting local buyers that could accommodate the demands of the strict timetable for collections and removing assets from site.

The approach has many benefits for the industry. Many smaller retailers, independent stores, makers and creators benefit from high-quality retail units and fixtures at a fraction of the cost of purchasing them new.
