Overview

In November 2024, we successfully completed a transformative project at Waitrose Canary Wharf, valued at £300,000 and executed over a concise 4-week period. The project focused on modernising and enhancing multiple key areas within the store to improve efficiency, functionality, and customer experience. This collaboration with Waitrose & Partners demonstrated Princebuild’s ability to deliver high-quality results within strict time constraints.
