Did you increase the amount of online shopping you did in 2020? Then you are with the majority, with online sales increasing by 44% last year! CBRE has recently published its UK The Lasting Effect – Online Spend Outlook report, which examines online buying trends and assesses the demand for physical retail space post Covid-19.
We’ve taken a look and the report highlights for the UK are:
- Online sales increased by 44% in 2020 due to Covid-19.
- Clothing & footwear floorspace to decrease by 35% by 2025.
- Online penetration will be reached by most age groups by 2030.
- Health & beauty and food & groceries will remain more resilient in terms of future retail space requirements.
- In the longer term, online penetration will slow and reach a saturation point.

With online buying habits showing no sign of abating, there is a surge in commercial businesses requiring more warehouse space to keep pace with additional demand.
Calztec has worked on a collection of commercial and industrial premises over the past 5 years. Our top three projects to date:
Crossfire 14, Kettering
We worked closely with CBRE Birmingham & MAERSK to provide a full in-house design and refurbishment package to suit the incoming tenant’s specific design requirements. Following the design sign off, we are now underway with the fit out process for a new 101,134 sq. ft logistics centre.
Ravensbank Business Park, Redditch
We were appointed as principal contractor to carry out design and refurbishment works. Our client wanted to refurbish the building to provide a high-quality business unit for a new client totalling 60,000 sq. ft.
Bescot Point, Walsall
Our client wished to refurbish two vacant industrial units to a high standard to prepare for new clients to move in. The works included the refurbishment of offices, WC’s, warehouse and car parks as well as external cladding and entrance repairs.
