Craftsman Lockers’ highly collaborative approach and bespoke designs are leading the way
Today’s scale and diversity of changing room provision demand a level of experience, sensitivity and innovation consistent with the need to meet the ever-rising expectations of club members and visitors aged 18 to 80 plus. Whether it is the vibrantly expansive facilities of Sweat Union gym in Walsall, the pared-back industrial chic of 1Rebel, or the historic interiors of golf venues such as Wentworth, Sunningdale and Coombe Hill, the Craftsman team is 100 per cent committed to delivering excellence.
Craftsman Lockers has 25 years’ experience of creating changing provision that services large and diverse memberships and visitor profiles, whose expectations continue to rise steeply as the industry evolves.
Having partnered with many health club operators over that time, Craftsman is extremely well versed in tailoring changing room solutions to the specific needs of individual clubs and their demographic. 1Rebel is not alone in stating of the company’s installations: “We wanted changing facilities that truly reflect our brand and values. Craftsman’s solution serves our needs and that of our members perfectly.”
EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
In golf, Craftsman partners private and proprietary clubs to place them on an inspirational platform for the 21st century, fashioning purpose-designed and installed changing areas that often exceed expectations. At heritage clubs such as Highgate, with a largely high net worth member profile, seamless project management was crucial in ensuring minimal disruption to daily functioning during a process of future-proofing for members as it strives to attract younger members. The company’s deep knowledge of how to reconfigure changing space proved a key feature of the work.
The creation of purpose-designed changing rooms to meet and exceed the aspiration and vision of clubs keen to retain members and attract new ones is vital in today’s challenging and competitive climate.
Inspiring, innovative designs and long-proven project management capability enable Craftsman to deliver complex schemes across fitness, sport and leisure that match provision to need.
John Gibbs and the Craftsman team work closely with facilities to rethink sometimes complicated, confusing layouts to streamline access and use, applying design insights to develop changing spaces moulded to the specific requirements of members and visitors.
The Craftsman team provide invaluable advice throughout a project to help deliver optimum quality, cost and timelines, factors vital in the delivery of a streamlined process and fit-for-purpose provision.
They are experienced in the design and install of changing facilities for projects that rely on close collaboration, assembling and co-ordinating the build and interior design teams to work alongside club management.
The quality of changing provision can impact a health and fitness club’s bottom line during a project, as well as afterwards. Craftsman’s commitment to fully supportive customer service keeps facilities in touch and engaged during fit-outs, while helping to limit the impact of any downtime.
The resulting welcoming environment can attract new health club members, as well as leave a lasting impression of quality and convenience.
The diversity of need in club changing provision can be satisfied only by a supplier that can act as a sympathetic, listening provider who offers innovative turnkey solutions exceeding the expectations of members, visitors, managers and committees alike.
Craftsman Lockers can expertly project manage schemes that truly stand the test of time.
