Caddick were appointed by Stokers Ltd, owners of Lucas Furniture, for its new two-storey outlet on the outskirts of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. The site is the company’s largest, purpose-built, furniture outlet to date.

The works included the construction of a 96,962 sq ft two-storey steel-framed retail unit, supported by piled foundations, with composite clad walls forming the thermal envelope. The new retail unit was constructed to enhanced shell fit-out including; partial decoration, M&E installation, lighting, comfort cooling, PV roof arrays, etc.

External works included an extensive customer car park, landscape layout, and site roads to tie in with adjacent highway infrastructure.

We are thrilled to be relocating Lucas Furniture to a very prominent site on the A41 next to Aylesbury Vale Parkway Railway Station. We were impressed by Caddick's approach to the negotiations for the contract and their experience in building prestigious retail stores for some of the UK's best known brands.
