Iceland Foods Workplace EV Charging Deeside, Flintshire

Iceland Foods runs its head office from Second Avenue on Deeside Industrial Park — one of the biggest employment sites in Flintshire, sitting between Sealand and the River Dee just off the A548. With hundreds of staff commuting in daily and EV ownership climbing fast, the company needed to give employees somewhere reliable to charge during the working day.

The requirement was straightforward to state and considerably harder to engineer: provide staff with the facility to charge while at work. That meant enough bays to matter, enough power to run them all simultaneously, and enough headroom left over that the site wouldn't need digging up again in three years' time.

As NICEIC approved electrical contractors based in Queensferry, minutes up the road, we were well placed to design the supply as well as install the hardware — and to do it without disrupting a car park in daily use.

Deeside Industrial Park sits on the Flintshire bank of the River Dee, a short run from our Queensferry base along the A548, with the A494 and the Flintshire Bridge linking it to Connah's Quay and the wider North Wales coast. Chester is around eight miles east. It's an area we work in constantly — alongside Broughton, Shotton, Garden City, Sealand and Hawarden.

That proximity matters on a project like this. Surveys happen quickly, deliveries are simple to coordinate, and if a client on Deeside Industrial Park needs us back on site, we're minutes away rather than hours. For businesses across Flintshire and Cheshire weighing up commercial EV charging installation, being local is a practical advantage, not a marketing line.
