Customer: Fords of Winsford

Location: Cheshire

Requirement: The award-winning Fords of Winsford car supermarket occupies a huge 13-acre site, with a retail area that displays between 1,500 and 1,700 cars at any one time. Fords realised that customers browsing such a large area might find themselves some distance from the sales showroom when they need assistance or information. That’s why the company decided to add a separate customer information building at the centre of its site.


Solution: Fords of Winsford decided that only Portakabin offered the quality of accommodation it required for its on-site information centre. The Portakabin Solus building was delivered and sited by Portakabin with minimal disruption to the company’s operations and in line with the unique Portakabin Customer Charter, which promises to deliver all buildings on time and on budget. To give customers complete peace of mind, Portakabin even pledges that if it ever fails to meet this commitment it will give one week’s free hire for every day it is late.*


Rob Brown adds: “We wanted a building that reflected the high standards of service we offer, and Portakabin Solus fitted the bill. It has a vastly improved look and offers a high-quality environment, in keeping with the rest of our site. And, with no visible legs, it looks much more like a permanent building, making an important statement to visitors about our commitment to customer service.”
