Customer : Allen Ford

Location: Coventry

Requirement: The Allen Ford Group is the UK’s second-ever Ford dealer franchise. With 12 Ford dealer businesses the company has been meeting the needs of Britain’s motorists for over 95 years.

When the need arose for an additional sales office at their Coventry site, Allen Ford wanted a new building that would reflect the quality of their organisation. This meant presenting a comfortable and appealing environment to their customers.

Solution: The Titan Building System was chosen by Ford to supply 110 square meters of additional commercial space. Titan Building System from Portakabin is the ultimate high-quality, flexible solution that can be designed to meet exact requirements.

Internally, the building was configured to Ford’s specific requirements. Interior partitioning was used to create an open-plan showroom and two separate sales offices for the comfort and privacy of their customers.

The Titan Building System arrived on site with a fully fitted kitchen and air conditioning for the comfort and convenience of staff and customers. In addition, this quality building was completed in rapid time with all electrics and plumbing; delivered with minimal disruption to Ford’s operations.

Allen Ford were delighted with their accommodation solution, which was a perfect fit for their needs:

Mike Phillips, Brand Director, Allen Ford said: “The Titan Building System is an excellent product. We choose the Building because of its design capability, coupled with the fact it offers excellent value for money. The Customer Charter gave us the reassurance that our building would be delivered on time and on budget. Furthermore, the 5-year product and 20-year structural warranty gives us peace of mind for the future.”

This unrivalled 5-year product and 20-year structural warranty is standard across all buildings purchased from Portakabin. This carries the assurance that Portakabin products are structurally sound and built to last.

In line with the unique Customer Charter, Portakabin delivered on their promise to supply the Titan Building System on time and on budget. As such, Ford were delighted with the unparalleled level of service they received:

Bobbie Easterlow, PA to the Brand Director, Allen Ford said: “We were kept informed of progress at all times and Portakabin staff were very helpful and professional. It is an outstanding building that is both appealing to customers and creates an excellent, spacious and pleasant working environment for staff. We would recommend the Titan Building System to anyone considering a similar type of construction.”
