Simpson completes Bath & Body Works for Next

Simpson have recently completed the reconfiguration and fit‑out of the existing Next store at the Bullring in Birmingham to introduce the new Bath & Body Works concept.

The works included new wall layouts, an upgraded sprinkler system, refreshed lighting and ceilings, and a fully branded shopfront built to the Bath & Body Works specification, complete with detailed tiling. New joinery and internal signage were also installed to bring the brand to life.

The store is now fully open, with even the iconic Bullring Bull dressed in Bath & Body Works attire to celebrate the launch. Another successful project delivered by Simpson.

On Thursday, 13th November, Simpson proudly marked the completion and grand opening of Sainsbury’s newest flagship supermarket at Wynyard, Billingham.

Simpson were appointed to complete the fit-out to the impressive 48,330 sq. ft. store which has been built to Sainsbury’s latest specification, setting a new benchmark for quality and sustainability. Featuring latest design, energy-efficient standards, and advanced operational features, this store represents the very best of Sainsbury’s retail experience.

Last night’s NFB Construction Awards of Excellence in Birmingham brought a fantastic moment of pride for Simpson. Two of our projects were shortlisted: Hull Maritime Museum—recognised in both the Remarkable Restoration and Renovation and Heritage and Conservation Project categories—and the Centre of Excellence, shortlisted for Excellence in Educational Building.

While Hull Maritime Museum narrowly missed out, we are thrilled to announce that the Centre of Excellence was named the winner of Excellence in Educational Building.

This project represents something truly special: a world‑class hub for heritage craft skills, supporting research, training, and the future of traditional craftsmanship. Being part of its journey has been a privilege.

Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this award‑winning project to life.
