THE MIDCOUNTIES CO-OPERATIVE / YOUR CO-OP

The Midcounties Co-operative is one of the largest independent UK Co-operative Societies with over 720,000 members and 6,600 colleagues and has an annual turnover of £1.34bn.

It operates the Your Co-op family of businesses which spans Food, Travel, Childcare, Utilities and Post Offices. The Society trades nationally through some of its businesses, including Travel, Utilities and Childcare, with its heartlands in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Buckinghamshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Wiltshire, and Worcestershire.

Working closely with the installing electrical contractor, Azura Networks, Dexretail supplied LED’s for this re-fit roll-out project. The main priority was to reduce the lighting energy usage over the Co-op’s entire estate, the majority of which was existing fluorescent. In addition to the energy savings, all of the old fluorescent lighting was removed and packaged by Azura Networks, ready for collection and recycling by Dexreco.

As an energy reduction project, Dexretail surveyed and prepared proposals for an initial batch of 15 stores for review. Immediately after completing this process, the full roll-out was given the go ahead. The full roll-out project had a total capital investment of £2.8m and involved Dexretail supplying new energy efficient lighting to in excess of 130 sites over a 12 month period, including accelerating the run rate when energy prices increased significantly during 2022.

Dexretail provided a custom lumen output of the ARCR DUO fitting used in the sales floor areas, to reduce the total fitting quantity required whilst ensuring the target illuminance and uniformity levels could be achieved across the majority of stores. Where ceiling types and heights allowed, the IN-LINE continuous run system was utilised in cross-aisle orientation to achieve the same specified illuminance and uniformity levels, ensuring a cohesive look across individual stores and their wider store estate.
