Comprehensive Electrical Upgrade for Give Me Cosmetics HQ – Liverpool, UK

Client: Give Me Cosmetics
Location: Liverpool, United Kingdom
Sector: Beauty & E-commerce
Service Provided by: ConneX Electrical

Project Overview

Give Me Cosmetics, a fast-growing beauty brand known for its skincare and haircare products, partnered with ConneX Electrical to deliver a comprehensive electrical upgrade at their Liverpool headquarters. The core of the project was a full-scale lighting installation within their expansive 30,000 sq ft warehouse, including specialised high-bay and emergency lighting designed to suit future 24/7 operations.

With the company scaling rapidly and logistics operations expanding, the client needed a lighting and power solution that would not only meet current demands but also support ongoing growth, increased staff capacity, and operational efficiency.

ConneX Electrical’s mission was to deliver a high-efficiency, future-proof solution aligned with Give Me Cosmetics’ commitment to safety, functionality, and aesthetics.

Scope of Works

• Complete lighting installation across the 30,000 sq ft warehouse
• Emergency lighting installation to meet compliance standards
• Forklift truck charging station installations (x2)
• Additional socket outlets and new sub-circuits
• Distribution board upgrades and load balancing

Challenges

• Aesthetic Requirements: As a modern, consumer-facing brand, the client expected a clean, polished finish, especially in areas visible to staff and visitors.
• Active Site: All works had to be carefully coordinated to avoid disruption to ongoing packing, dispatch, and fulfilment operations.
• Increased Load Demand: The introduction of new equipment and forklift chargers required detailed load calculations and infrastructure upgrades.
• Multi-Zone Functionality: Lighting needed to be zoned across different areas for flexibility and energy efficiency, especially in racking and open floor spaces.

Our Solution

1. Bespoke Lighting Design
We designed and installed energy-efficient LED high bay lighting throughout the warehouse. Narrow-beam fittings were used in racking aisles to ensure focused illumination, based on the client’s racking layout. Wider beam fittings were installed in open-plan areas to maximise coverage while minimising energy consumption. Emergency lighting was also integrated to comply with safety regulations.

2. Forklift Charging Stations
Two dedicated forklift charging bays were installed, each with 32A 3-phase isolators and appropriate surge protection. Distribution boards were upgraded to allow for load management and future expansion.

3. Power & Infrastructure Expansion
New socket outlets and sub-circuits were installed in strategic zones such as packing benches, production areas, and office workstations to support operational flexibility.

4. Clean, Professional Installations
All cable management was carefully planned to ensure a neat and professional appearance. Cabling was fully contained, clearly labelled, and routed to avoid disruption to warehouse activity. We worked closely with the client throughout the project to schedule works during low-traffic periods and outside of peak hours.

Results

• Improved Warehouse Safety with bright, even lighting across all zones
• Efficient Power Management with upgraded boards and balanced circuits
• Professional Aesthetic Finish in both industrial and customer-facing areas
• Zero Disruption to day-to-day operations thanks to smart scheduling and coordination
