The Client & Challenge
Arnold Clark appointed Key to transform an existing Seat showroom into a dual-brand site for Jaecoo and Omoda. The project came with a short lead time, but the showroom needed to be rebranded and fully operational for the peak January–February sales period.
Where others quoted six to eight week lead times or declined the pressure of late approvals, Arnold Clark trusted Key’s ability to mobilise fast and deliver with certainty.

Our Approach
Key managed the showroom rebrand end to end, covering electrical and mechanical works, fit-out, and installation of new ceramic flooring. By combining in-house capability with long-standing supply chain partnerships, we accelerated delivery and avoided delays that often occur under tight timelines.

The Results
In just a matter of weeks, the Newcastle showroom was handed over on budget and on schedule, ready for Arnold Clark’s sales push at the start of the new year. The transformation allowed Jaecoo and Omoda to launch in a high-quality, brand-consistent environment at the exact time the client needed.
In Our Project Manager’s Words
“Fantastic achievement by the lead PM, Michael, in landing this scheme in Newcastle for Arnold Clark. It was a high-pressure environment with a wide range of trades involved, and the level of pre-planning and coordination before getting to site was first class. Great to see all that preparation paid off — really strong work by the team”.
