Retailer receives FRAs for 700 stores TRAVEL AGENT Thomas Cook has seen more than 700 stores receive fi re risk assessments (FRAs) from RWS. RWS stated that


it completed 21


‘dilapidation’ projects for the company as well as FRAs for over 700 of its stores, with the project beginning in 2017. It ‘programmed a system of works’ to develop the FRAs for every store in the Thomas Cook estate of owned and leased properties, while restoration of the 21 other stores included internal, external and structural repairs, alongside refurbishment. Ian Robinson, business development manager at RWS, commented: ‘We were tasked to arrange a comprehensive schedule of works that would allow our teams of installers to verify the FRA for each property and then bring the upgrade to each store. This amounted to approximately 700 shops nationwide including branches in Ireland and the Channel Islands. ‘We reviewed the surveys and grouped them into levels of severity, which were


then prioritised and zoned into workload areas. Six teams of trained FRA installers started the contract in June 2017 and will complete the project in October. ‘Our installers picked up on other


outstanding issues during the installation phase. The new tranche of observations has formed the second phase of work, which we are still working on.’ Ryan


Forman, property manager at Thomas Cook,


services added:


‘We have a large portfolio of owned and leased properties circa 600, so it’s important we maintain them so both our employees and customers are fi rstly safe, but also have a pleasant experience in our stores. ‘Due to the number of stores and the


varied locations of these the work involved could have been a huge headache, but working with RWS has made the process much easier to handle. Their expertise and teams of installers were integral to the smooth running of this project.’
