Client Name: <\/strong>Judy\u2019s Coffee Shop <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry: <\/strong>Catering <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: <\/strong>Bury, Manchester <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value of Work: <\/strong>\u00a311,000\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Judy approached us wanting a compact coffee shop built from a shipping container. It needed to be fully functional for daily service, with UPVC anthracite doors for customer access, a roller shutter for security, a serving hatch, and a small kitchen area complete with water heater and sink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main challenge was helping Judy design a layout that met all of her requirements without going over the budget. It needed to be practical, compliant, and ready to operate<\/strong> in a busy location.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Approach <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We spend with each client, we don\u2019t just \u201cbuild a box\u201d, we work closely with all our clients to create something that actually functions for their business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We guided Judy through every option from start to finish. Our conversions team used their experience to help her choose the best layout, materials, and features so the build stayed on budget but still delivered everything she needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

The Solution <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because we\u2019ve done so many catering-style conversions, we already knew what was needed to make the unit compliant and practical for daily use.\u00a0The project was planned and scheduled early to ensure everything was ready for opening day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
