As with numerous other Debenhams stores around the UK, the new store in North Lincolnshire Shopping Park, Scunthorpe has been fitted with fire detection, security and Public Address (PA) and music systems by PEL Services.
The new store, which occupies 40,000 sq ft across two floors, is protected by a store-wide ‘open protocol’ fire detection system and PEL’s Refuge Call, which allows a disabled person to alert a central station.
A PA system, as used for safety and general announcements and to broadcast in store radio and advertisements under a company-wide MEDIAinSTORE contract, has also been fitted by PEL.
PEL has installed Access Control, Intruder Alarm and Video Door Entry systems as part of the overall store security.
For PEL Services, the real challenge for this site was the turnaround, as Managing Director Ken Faulks said afterwards: “PEL Services has developed an excellent working relationship with Debenhams over the years. We serve the retailer with a quality package of cost-effective systems and provide a level of support to match. We have the resources and the expert team to enable us to provide this level of service and Debenhams recognises this through its continued use of our services across its stores, including our MEDIAinSTORE Music In-Store Radio and Advertising service which is now distributed throughout the Debenhams estate.”
PEL Services was recently responsible for the design, supply and install of a Bose Digital Sound and Public Address system at Debenhams flagship Oxford Street store as part of its £25m refurbishment. The sound system features 650 ceiling speakers, making it one of the largest Bose ceiling speaker installations in Europe. Go to www.pel.co.uk.
