Case study
Budgens of Holt
We were contacted by one of our clients, a national shopfitting specialist, to assist with a prestigious and ambitious new project they were working on.
The project, a complete re build of a large convenience store after it was destroyed by fire, required a number of solutions, which Verde were able to provide, including display chillers & freezers, walk in coldrooms , all refrigeration plant & installation as well as a complete data management system enabling real time visibility of cabinet performance.
In addition to providing products from our existing range there was also the requirement to develop new, bespoke products to satisfy the requirements of the client.
The end result is a spectacular retail store which is once again at the heart of it’s community.

Project Outline
The store, once at the heart of the local community, was totally destroyed by fire back in 2020. After a lengthy process, delayed by COVID, the pressure was on to get the store opened in early 2023.
Verde were contacted by the shopfitter to assist with all refrigeration within the store taking control of both equipment and refrigeration plant. With almost 60 cabinets, including both open front multidecks and models with doors, vertical freezers, self service displays and two large walk in coldrooms in addition to all pipework, plant and data monitoring, the installation deadline of 4 weeks was a tough ask, but the team successfully delivered on time, allowing the store to open and once again provide an invaluable service to the local towns and villages.
Chilled Display
The client required an extensive refrigerated display for an expansive range of produce such as fresh meat & fish, fruit and veg, BWS, frozen food, food to go snacks and dairy. Luckily, the Berlin ECO range of products had something to suit every requirement.
Berlin ECO – Open Front
The Berlin ECO is our most energy efficient range and combines this performance with modern aesthetics and a large list of standard features. In this instance the client opted for RAL9005 black interior and exterior, 740mm deep cases in an island format with our custom header case at either end. A mixture of 3M1 cases for fresh meat and 3M2 cases for dairy, drinks and snacks were supplied.
Frozen Display
Frozen food continues to be a key growth area for retail convenience and the client wanted to maximise their offering. The choice to go with the Berlin Frozen was easy, not only do they look great and match the store aesthetic perfectly, but they also offer a huge display area and
fantastic product visibility.
Three layers of high-quality, perfect vision glass provide ample insulation to keep energy costs down, while optional anti-mist door film can also be fitted, reducing the need for door glass heaters. Visibility is essential for impulse shopping and the ultra-bright vertical LED lighting in the Berlin Frozen ensures each and every facing is brightly illuminated and appealing to the eye.
2, 3, and 4-door models are available, all of which can be multiplexed to create bespoke run lengths as per your requirements. Two different depths and two heights are also available to maximise flexibility.
Chilled & Frozen Storage
With so much chilled and frozen display space it was essential to have suitable refrigerated storage too.
For chilled produce, we built a 9m x 12m walk-in chiller, with semi-camlock construction, 80mm thick PIR foam panels while for frozen storage we built a 4m x 5m room with 100mm thick PIR panels.
Both rooms have been fitted with high-quality, efficient evaporators and fed by one of the three pack systems mounted on the roof of the supermarket.
Refrigeration Plant & Installation
To run all of the refrigerated display and storage we worked with a UK manufacturer to build three bespoke pack systems that would perfectly match the running requirements, maximising performance and efficiency.
