The job

Crow Farm Shop, Ringwood — a busy farm shop selling fresh produce, meat and cheese, appointed Craven Cooling to replace its existing refrigerated display cabinets.

The customer needed new cabinets that would hold reliable temperature control while presenting the produce clearly and professionally — and the shop could only close for one day to get it done.

The challenge

Crow Farm Shop is a considerable distance from our base in Swansea, and well established and busy throughout the week — closing for several days wasn’t an option.

One day, no more

Removal of the old cabinets and installation of the new had to be complete, connected and running before the team left site — there was no room for delays.

A long way from Swansea

An early start and careful planning before the team ever arrived on site — everything needed for the job had to travel down with them.

The replacement cabinets had to be right for temperature-sensitive fresh produce from the moment they were switched on.

The solution

Our engineers travelled to Ringwood early in the morning and began work as soon as access to the store was available.

The existing refrigeration cabinets were disconnected and removed, clearing the area for the new equipment. The two Arneg Oscartielle Zara 2 cabinets were then carefully brought in, positioned and installed — chosen for the display space and temperature performance fresh meat and cheese need, and for a cleaner, more modern presentation.

By working efficiently and keeping the installation organised, the complete replacement was finished within approximately eight hours — allowing the farm shop to reopen the following day with minimal disruption.
