Weatherite Building Services Ltd - Extract Canopies for new Waitrose Supermarket
Weatherite, the West Midlands based
building services group, has supplied kitchen extract canopies
for a new store opened in Droitwich by Waitrose, the supermarket
division of the John Lewis Partnership.
The canopies serve island rotisserie ovens and a kitchen bake
off room on the first floor of the building in Saltway which has
been created in partnership with Wychavon District Council.
The project involved equipment supplied and installed by
Aldridge-based Weatherite Building Services and is the second to
be completed by the company following an earlier Waitrose
contract in Cheltenham.
The John Lewis Partnership is one of the UK’s top 10 retail
businesses including 168 Waitrose stores and the company is
spearheading a drive to expand its supermarket operations in the
Midlands and north of England.
The Droitwich contract – placed by Kershaw Mechanical Services
of Stourbridge (West Midlands) – was completed under
Weatherite’s partnership deal with one of Europe’s leading
manufacturers of kitchen ventilation systems.
The agreement with De Kobra – which has a factory at Opwijk in
Belgium – covers not only canopy designs but a complete kitchen
ventilation package for the UK commercial sector.
This includes a distribution system which enables various
utilities – such as gas, electricity and water – to be brought
together in a single stainless steel fabricated unit.
