Haskins Garden Centre – Snowhill
In 2003, the Haskins Garden centre business expanded with the acquisition of Snowhill Garden Centre, located in Copthorne, West Sussex. This centre traded successfully for 13 years before the whole site was completely redeveloped, culminating in a new flag-ship garden centre reopening in early 2020.
ION provided the design for all the building services for the new development including provision of new incoming services, lighting, heating, and ventilation systems.
Complex automatic ventilation controls ensure the garden areas are maintained at optimum conditions, plus ION designed all the systems to support the striking 300 seat busy restaurant at the heart of the facility.

The works involved the replacement of 15 HV substations supplying the store and ‘back of house’ areas. The new equipment was located at basement and roof levels and included transformers, HV / LV switchgear and cabling.
This was a complex infrastructure project in a prestigious location that required multiple phases and out of hours working to ensure this flagship store was not disrupted at any time.
