Premises Management
Retail and hospitality premises, fixtures and fittings all provide considerable challenges. From complying with building and safety regulations through basic and preventative maintenance to shopfits, renovations or new projects, there are legal requirements to meet and systems to manage to keep the public and your employees comfortable and safe.
Overview
Your premises need to be managed as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible — the best use of space, people management, technology solutions and safety planning should all be integrated to help you maximise productivity and achieve your commercial goals.
In line with the complexity of your needs, London Retail Services can both advise on and directly manage your business premises. We consider every point of view: legal requirements, health and safety, costs, design, installation, preventative and reactive maintenance, and staff training are all incorporated into our online process management systems.
We also have a great deal of experience of the legal complexities of taking on and giving up leases, and the various risks and costs of the UK leasehold system. We coordinate all the necessary parties to achieve the best and most cost-effective leases and dilapidation schedules.

In summary
Many directors — especially of foreign-owned companies — have little experience of UK property, facilities or equipment issues. A lack of preparation or suitable specialist assistance leads to wasted time, frustration and excessive (or even disastrous) costs. London Retail Services provides a fully integrated, all-round solution for your premises.
