Chargifi & Nuttalls In Exciting New Partnership

Chargifi puts wireless charging well and truly on the map with new Nuttalls partnership

Wireless charging company Chargifi has partnered with award-winning interior fit-out, signage and display company, The Alan Nuttall Partnership Ltd, in a bid to provide businesses globally with convenient, innovative wireless charging.

The partnership is a great testament to Nuttalls’ forward thinking approach and is particularly relevant following research by Chargifi, which reveals that 56% of British adults believe wireless charging should be made a free amenity in public areas. Half of us say we’d even be willing to spend between £1 and £5 in a public venue simply to charge our phones and devices. Nuttalls counts most of the UK’s biggest and best high street brands amongst their clients, such as Pret a Manger, Fortnum and Mason and Wasabi, who will now have the opportunity to benefit hugely from Chargifi’s solutions.

It is clear that wireless charging is going to be critical to the future environment for such businesses, as Chargifi have seen an increase in charging dwell time from 24 to 26 minutes and found that if venues can increase their customers visit by 1%, there is a 1.3% increase in sales.

Chargifi was founded in 2013 by 27 year old Dan Bladen who went travelling for six months and found many of the places he visited made it difficult to charge devices easily. The service, which brings free, convenient power to people where and when they need it most, will mean businesses can encourage customers to charge their devices without the hassle of using a cable whilst also capturing user behaviour.

Dan Bladen, CEO of Chargifi says ‘As one of the UK’s leading fit-out companies, Nuttalls is the perfect platform to help Chargifi hit the big time. With clients like Costa, Pret A Manger and Hilton Hotels we’re looking forward to working on a number of global projects together.“

Already recognised as one of the UK’s leading shopfitters, The Alan Nuttall Partnership Ltd specialises in interior fit-out, main and principal contracting, retail display design, manufacture and installation of fixtures, signage, foodservice and refrigeration equipment for retail, commercial, hospitality, leisure, foodservice and the public sector.

Matt Hornblower, Operations Director at Nuttalls, says “We’re keen to constantly innovate for our clients and Chargifi offer the perfect augmentation to our existing service, giving added value for our clients and allowing their customers to benefit from this new technology. By 2020 wireless charging will be the ‘norm’. As people choose a hotel, lunch or coffee shop based on the presence, reliability and usability of the Wi-Fi, wireless charging is fast becoming the next ‘must have’ in high street and public environments.

We would love to show our clients the fantastic opportunity that Chargifi offers, so we’ve installed the system in both our Dudley and Hinckley showrooms. It’s a perfect chance for clients to try out the system for themselves!“
