Project Description

Project Overview

When The Perfume Shop set their sights on a flagship location in the newly developed Edinburgh St James Centre, they knew they needed a trusted partner who could deliver on both quality and timing — even amid the unique challenges of a global pandemic.

Having worked with AGM Group for over a decade across numerous UK locations, The Perfume Shop once again turned to our experienced team to bring their vision to life.

The Challenge

Retail fit-outs are always time-sensitive and complex — and this project was no exception. The unit, located at a prime entrance within the shopping centre, was handed over as a bare shell. To meet The Perfume Shop’s high standards and the mall’s opening schedule, AGM Group had to transform the space from the ground up — all during the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The full scope included:

• Concrete screeding and floor finishing
• Mechanical & electrical systems
• Fire-rated partitions and doors
• Air conditioning and ventilation
• Eco-friendly flooring solutions
• Overdoor heating systems
• Data and life safety systems
• Staff facilities and storage
• Frameless glass shopfront with sliding entrance doors
• Bespoke furniture and branded product display units
• Integrated video and audio systems

Our Approach

At AGM Group, we understand that the success of any retail project lies in meticulous planning, seamless coordination, and clear communication. From the outset, we worked closely with The Perfume Shop’s team to define display requirements, source equipment within tight timeframes, and maintain open communication at every stage.

Our highly skilled and motivated team pushed the project forward with precision and professionalism — ensuring every detail aligned with the brand’s vision and the mall’s high standards.

Why The Perfume Shop Chose AGM Group

With over 10 years of successful collaboration, The Perfume Shop trusts AGM Group for our reliability, craftsmanship, and ability to deliver — even in the most challenging circumstances. At a time when consistency and experience mattered most, we were proud to be their go-to partner.

The Result

The Perfume Shop opened in perfect sync with the grand launch of the Edinburgh St James Centre — a major milestone for the brand and a proud achievement for our team. The project received widespread media attention and served as a showcase of what can be achieved with expert planning, partnership, and execution.
