Case Study – 3 Customised Dumbwaiters Installed for JD Sports in Leeds
Tower Lifts are delighted to have completed our 7th Dumbwaiter installation for JD Sports. When we were first contacted by this global brand a few years ago, it was to solve a logistics problem. Store managers needed an efficient way to get trainers from the store room to the customer, without taking retail assistants away from their face-to-face role. We designed a tailor-made dumbwaiter lift solution.
The Tower Lifts solution in the Dundrum store, in Ireland successfully solved the problem we’d been set. We were then asked to install similar dumbwaiters in Luton, Coventry, Doncaster, Leicester and Chester.
The Dumb Waiter Takes Centre Stage at JD Sports, Leeds
In Leeds, JD Sports has stores in the White Rose Shopping Centre, and The Core, but their latest outlet the city centre is being named as their flagship store. Of course, the Tower Lifts team was pleased to be involved, but the story just kept getting better. We were asked for 3 customised dumb waiter lifts which
would be in full view of the customers in the public area of the store!
What had started as a business
solution has now become very much a part of the JD Brand:
The cabins of our 3 stylish dumbwaiters match the yellow of the JD Sports brand, and they’re encased in elegant glass shafts. What’s exciting about this particular project is that the lift machinery has become an aesthetic feature, situated on the shop floor itself. Best of all, the dumbwaiter is still solving the original problem by providing customers with their chosen trainers fast!
