ASDA partnered with GPS to provide programme management services on their nationwide Refrigeration Programme, spanning 100 sites across the UK in 2024.
The ASDA Refrigeration Programme involved replacing end of life equipment with new frozen and chilled cases, new plant and upgraded cold-rooms across 100 locations. With a proven track record of managing high volume retail roll out programmes, GPS successfully managed the commission by coordinating multiple activities to align the individual projects within the roll out programme. The brief was to replace existing refrigeration infrastructure at the end of asset life to improve customer experience whilst delivering enhanced efficiency and energy savings to align with ASDA’s sustainability objectives.
GPS managed the programme from inception through to completion, including business plan review, design process, associated planning and landlord consents, client cost approvals, procurement and delivery. This was achieved by engaging stakeholders and implementing a robust strategic programme and key events schedule which was rigorously monitored and updated to ensure complete visibility of the programme deliverables. This ensured a timely delivery of projects and alignment with ASDA’s strategic goals and subsequent commission of GPS for the 2025 programme.
