About
Us MACTRA Shop Equipment & Fittings Ltd
MacDonald Trading was started in 1991 by Jim & Ann MacDonald.
In the recession of this time there was a need for a supplier
of low cost used shopfittings for retailers starting out or
making changes to their shops. There was also a ready supply
of equipment from unfortunate retailers closing down. The
business developed quickly and as the nation's wealth improved
so did the demand for new shopfittings. The name was changed
to Mactra Shop Equipment & Fittings to give potential
customers a better idea of what we did.
Trevor Churchill joined the company as a consultant in 1994.
With him he brought drawing and shop planning skills. Trevor
& Jim designed the shops and Jim fitted them. The late
1990's saw a change in the company's direction into the design
and installation of purpose built display stands for leading
UK brands such as Unilever , Bestfoods, Allied Bakeries and
Entenmann's Cakes. Mactra continued to fit shops during this
period.
In the early 2000s Mactra had display stands in nearly every
supermarket in the UK. Changes to store policy of the 'big
four' supermarkets meant the demand for 'off shelf ' displays
disappeared and Mactra returned to concentrating on its core
business of designing and fitting stores for the independent
sector.
This is the story to date...... Shopfitting ITS WHAT WE DO!
