Marshall Motor Group is a top 10 UK motor dealer group founded in 1909 in Cambridge. Marshall Motor Group operates a total of 73 franchises covering 23 brands, operating from 88 sites across 19 counties in England.

Marshall is planning to redevelop its Ford Commercial Vehicles showroom in the next few years. In the meantime, it wished to upgrade its current facilities and needed a cost-effective interim solution that had the look, feel and properties of a permanent building without the associated costs.

Smart-Space provided Marshall with a 15m x 25m bespoke semipermanent building. The structure features windows, lighting, office space, a high roof and bi-fold doors to enable easy vehicle access.

Heat loss concerns were alleviated with the Smart-Space solution as the 40mm insulated steel roof and 40mm steel wall cladding, retains substantially more heat compared to other temporary buildings with PVC fabric roofs.

Marshall chose Smart-Space because of the durability, flexibility and variety of its product options, and because it needed a bespoke solution delivered within a tight timescale. The entire project took just a week to complete from start to finish.

“Smart-Space provided an outstanding service and an excellent product that met our requirements, and was virtually indistinguishable from a bricks and mortar showroom,” said Terry Moore, projects facility manager at Marshall Motor Group.

“I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again as the team provided an exceptional service with excellent communication throughout the build and a quick turnaround.
