Shop till you drop at Victoria Place - a snazzy new shopping venue in Victoria . Housed under a curvaceous, new-age glass capsule Victoria Place has become a visual icon in the area. Victoria Place has a pick of the best, big brand clothes, shoes and accessories and the shops are all under one roof. Keen shoppers can pop from shop to shop with minimal effort and being indoor; avoid the unpredictable British elements too.

The site itself consists of 3 buildings covering an enormous space of over 1 million square feet. The £200 million development was built directly over the District and Circle line underground tunnels which amazingly pass through the basement. The buildings rest on rubber shock absorbers to avoid vibrations from the train thus not upsetting shoppers and their retail therapy.

Marks and Spencers, Zara, Topshop, L'Occitane and Hobbs are just some of the goodies found at Victoria Place . There are also plenty of restaurants so weary shoppers can recharge – with peace of mind that massive chains such as Zizzi, Wagamama, Nando's and Ha!Ha! have all opened a branch among the space-like modernity of this innovative shopping mall.

The challenge faced by Linnet Technology Ltd – Victoria Place needed a remote back-up system to ensure business continuity by safeguarding network and system availability to different customers on the same site. Linnet Technology Ltd supplied 2 off 30kva UPS with separate client loads. In the event of a mains failure on site; either UPS' will allow both distribution boards to be supplied from one UPS for added flexibility to site.

Jim Laughlin, Technical Director of Linnet Technology Ltd says:

“We worked closely with the client to create a cost-effective and scalable solution that addressed their business and operational challenges, capable of handling existing and planned capacity. Our flexible and adaptable, bespoke solution ensured that we met their precise needs, provided value, and demonstrated measurable return on investment .”
