A shopfitting testimonial from Master Franchisee for Brumby's in North Queensland.

"As Master Franchisee for Brumby’s in North Queensland, we commenced our relationship with Billings Long in 2005.

During that time Billings Long have delivered nine new stores, as well as at least two relocations and numerous store upgrades.

I meet Wayne on-site to determine the Electrical and Plumbing requirements, along with the overall shop design, including consultation about entrance doors. Our letter of offer to lease was reviewed by Wayne, which delivered considerable savings to the franchisees.

Billings Long took full control and responsibility of the shop fit, liaising directly with franchisees on layout (within the franchisor shop fit guidelines), as well as organising council applications. This allowed me to focus on my side of the business.

Billings Long shop fits were delivered on time and on budget - even when they encountered hurdles. Their quality has proven superior against other company’s completed work, which saves our franchisees costs down the track I would recommend Billings Long to any operator in the retail business."

Most of the time, when approached by customers who are unfamiliar with the term 'shopfitting' or 'shop fitting', they would ask us if it meant that the shelves were made to fit perfectly into a space. In order to understand what shopfitting means, we have to take a look at how the term came about. The term was coined by the engineering industry as a means of describing a solution that helps maximize available space to store all things that required. In short, it is a form of space management...which is very important for retailers and store owners.
