Hughes invest in Beaconsfield site
Hughes of Beaconsfield, who have been established on their Station Road site since 1955, are one of the most successful independent Mercedes dealerships in the country, employing over 180 people they are one of Beaconsfield’s biggest employers. With Hughes, success has bred success and because of this they have recently invested over a quarter of a million pounds in refitting and reorganising their workshops to maximise customer car throughput and car servicing area.Like many professional garages they called in Trade Group, the experts in garage equipment and services, to make recommendations. After liaising with Hughes management and the builders, Trade Group recommended the removal of all the existing two post lifts in exchange for the latest in car lifting technology, the Rotary Blitz In-Ground Lifts, which would enable Hughes to utilise six extra bays against using two post lifts. In-Ground lifts are the ultimate and offer the best attributes for customer car lifting equipment, minimum width work bays, maximum possible under vehicle access, tidy appearance, easy cleaning, low maintenance costs, quick operation, quietness and the reliability and long life of hydraulic operation.
Bullworthy, the Trade Group member for the area, developed all the computer aided plans for the garage and in conjunction with Hughes, co-ordinated all the building, lift installation and associated services work. The project plans were targeted at ensuring minimum disruption for customers and enabled the garage to keep operating by splitting all the building and installation work into four sections, thus keeping the maximum work shop availability during the refit and as a bonus the project was finished right on schedule.
