Case Study: Premium Vehicle Handover Bay for SG Petch

Project: Bespoke Commercial Canopy
Client: SG Petch
Location: Middlesbrough, UK
Sector: Automotive / Retail


The Brief

SG Petch, a prominent dealership in Middlesbrough, wanted to elevate their customer service experience. They identified a need to utilise their outdoor space more effectively. The unpredictable British weather often made vehicle handovers difficult and discouraged customers from browsing outdoor stock during rainy periods. They needed a solution that was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing to match the high standards of their vehicles.

The Solution

The Kappion design and fitting team provided a bespoke canopy solution tailored specifically to the dimensions and layout of the SG Petch site.

  • Custom Design: We created a structure that integrates seamlessly with the existing showroom environment.
  • Expert Installation: Our fitting team managed the installation efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to the dealership’s daily operations.
  • Premium Finish: The canopy was finished to provide a high-end look, turning a standard patch of tarmac into a legitimate feature area.

The Result

The installation has transformed how the dealership operates outdoors. The new canopy serves a dual purpose:

  1. VIP Handover Bay: Staff can now hand over keys to customers in a protected, dry environment. This ensures the “new car feeling” isn’t dampened by rain and allows for a professional handover regardless of the weather.
  2. Feature Display Area: The space is now used to spotlight new vehicle arrivals. The cover draws the eye and invites customers to browse the cars, keeping them comfortable and dry even on wet days.

Conclusion: This project highlights how a Kappion canopy is more than just a shelter; it is a business asset that improves customer experience and maximises usable commercial space.
