Building on strong partnerships
We were pleased to renew long-term contracts with Sainsbury’s and Nationwide Building Society, reaffirming CADS as a trusted partner across national property portfolios. Our relationship with Frasers Group also grew during the year, with commissions across our Retail Planning, CADS Surveys and StoreSpace services, reflecting the strength of our integrated approach.
Alongside this, we continued to work with both existing and previous clients across surveying and retail planning, including HLW, Century Facades, Portview, Ground Control, Sports Direct, Santander, Primark and Sainsbury’s.
Delivering at scale
A highlight of the year was the delivery of 136 store surveys as part of a refrigeration validation rollout programme. This work demonstrates CADS’ ability to deliver coordinated, large-scale programmes with accuracy and consistency. Our capability also grew internally, with the retail planning team expanding to over 50 people, the largest it has ever been, strengthening our capacity to support multi-format retail estates.
Developing our people
Throughout the year, we were proud to recognise promotions across the business, reflecting our continued investment in people and career development. We also celebrated colleagues reaching 5, 10 and 20 years of service, recognising the experience and commitment that underpin CADS.
Coming Together Beyond the Day-to-Day
In the summer, colleagues from CADS, StoreSpace® and Prosper came together at Great Yarmouth Racecourse, enjoying time away from the office to celebrate shared successes. We also supported individual achievements, including Jamie Mitchell’s London Marathon, completed as part of a Guinness World Record-breaking event and raising funds for Sense, with matched donations from CADS.
We wrapped up the year in festive style with our Glitzmas Christmas party at Great Yarmouth Racecourse, bringing colleagues together once more to reflect on a successful year and celebrate everything achieved across the business.
