MEMBER NEWS Graphic display specialist Leach Impact has unveiled a new ultrailluminated product designed to introduce a wow factor to the retail environment. Exclusively unveiled to a handful of VIP customers before being released to the market, Vision Lightwall follows 12 months of in-house development. Available in three key formats, the products integrate ultra-bright LED illumination with large format HD-quality graphics, designed to capture the attention of shoppers on the often-challenging high street. This self-assembly, lightweight pop-up represents a more modern and impactful alternative to simple pull-up graphics. With options up to 2m tall x 3m wide, this particular freestanding Lightwall is intended to provide brands with maximum exposure in small spaces. The tool-less system is easy to transport and erect, and CE-certified for complete peace of mind. In stores with larger available square footage, the modular Lightwall can be supplied in sizes up to 5m tall x 20m wide. Engineered with flexibility in mind, this solution – also CE-certified – presents an array of visually striking possibilities, with the support of an installation team. Finally, a series of add-ons can be incorporated into this modular system, for added impact. Options include in-built TVs, hanging profiles, and the merchandising capabilities of Leach’s Product Wall Lite. With no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ configuration, clients can choose from a non-illuminated specification, edge lighting with beam LEDs, the brightest back-lit option, or a soon-to-be-launched flexible lightsheet, which enables the system to be rolled up for ultimate movability. Commenting on the team’s ambition for this product range, Leach’s head of innovation Mike Willshaw explained: “We recognise the challenges being LEACH AIMS TO WOW WITH NEW PRODUCT experienced on the high street, but this is exactly why our innovation team is here – to anticipate and address these challenges head on, with industry input. We know that impactful store environments can be notoriously expensive, for instance, which means brands are often accepting of lacklustre displays that still represent a significant investment and are often only single-use. “But given the level of design, print and manufacturing advancements within the display sector, it is possible to do so much more – it is possible to create visually stunning spaces without breaking the bank. We’ve therefore collaborated with retailers of all shapes and sizes to create Lightwall, and we’re extremely excited about its potential.” Elsewhere, Lightwall has also attracted the attention of the events sector. Leach is already accustomed to supporting organisations with exhibition solutions – in partnership with Belgian-owned beMatrix for instance – and interest in this latest innovation indicates wider potential within the exhibition arena. “As with the other lightbox products in Leach Impact’s portfolio, the Lightwall is designed to accommodate interchangeable fabric graphics which makes it the perfect solution for one event after another,” added Mike. “The level of waste often left behind after trade shows and conferences is staggering – this solution therefore addresses the reuse problem whilst maximising clients’ return on investment.” Contact: t: 01484 551279 e: impact@weareleach.com w: www.leachimpact.com PROPABILITY DELIVERS INDUSTRIAL CHIC TO FENWICK BOND STREET Propability worked alongside the Fenwick of Bond Street Visual Merchandising team to create this impressive window display delivering an industrial yet sophisticated merchandise display. Themed ‘Piping Hot’ the concept was brought to life by Propability – designing scaffolding style shelving which was sprayed in various colours. Instead of using scaffolding planks bespoke clear acrylic shelves were created to create a lighter element to the display on which to position key merchandise. Propability incorporated waste pipes that bend up, down and across the windows - which were sprayed in similar colours - with others treated in a gold chrome which added further to the overall sense of luxury. Overall, nearly 50 metres of 160mm diameter pipes were used turning around 20 bends! The display was completed on the exterior of the building with two sets of U-bend pipes attached to the outside of the window to give the scheme some extra dynamism. The effect is a stunning contrast of industry layered with sophistication. The merchandise on display offers an additional decadence and style which completes the theme.

MEMBER NEWS SHOPFITTING WAREHOUSE SPICE UP THEIR LIVES “SpiceUp is the biggest touring exhibition of Spice Girls memorabilia in the world. With hundreds of iconic costume pieces from the Spice Girls heyday as well as many thousands of items of merchandise and memorabilia it is a fantastic trip down pop music history for any Spice Girls or music fan.” When Curator and self-professed Spice Girl Number One fan, Alan Smith- Allison decided to offer the world sight of his unrivalled personal collection of Spice Girls memorabilia, he knew he would have girls (and some boys) of a certain age lining the streets for tickets, as seen when his idols hit stardom. SpiceUp will be at Watford’s Intu Shopping Centre from 15 <strong>November</strong> - 31 December before touring worldwide. The touring exhibition started in August at the Business Design Centre, London, customary to The Spice Girls, the UK city that propelled them to fame and notability. The five feisty girls sparked a new wave in popular culture during the mid-90’s, stemmed from Britain’s pop music ancestry home, London, earning them their place in music history. SpiceUp aims to recapture the spirit of those heady days and the empowering message of Girl Power that the fab five brought to their marketing in the wake of a glut of boy bands taking over the pop charts at the time. This soon became their motto and to every girl in Britain and before long, worldwide. With every fantastic concept, so requires reliable support. This is where Shopfitting Warehouse enters the proverbial stage. Presentation is paramount so when the director of SpiceUp contacted Shopfitting Warehouse for mannequins and barrier posts, he knew he’d gone to the right place. For great presentation of your outfits, costumes, or memorabilia take a look at Shopfitting Warehouse’s full range of mannequins. Available in poses with attitude, or relaxed and cool, whatever you’re looking for, they have one that will make your merchandising holler, zig-a-zig-ah! Contact: t: 01258 859900 e: sales@shopfittingwarehouse.co.uk w: www.shopfittingwarehouse.co.uk The exhibition has over 300 Spice Girls outfits on display, including outfits from the Spice World movie, dresses worn by the girls at the 1995 & 1997 BRIT awards, from performances on Saturday Night Live, clothes worn on music video appearances, Pepsi promotional outfits and the iconic Girl Power basque worn by Geri Halliwell, shown above.
