H.R. Owen’s Jack Barclay Bentley showroom is set for a major refit to assimilate Bentley’s new corporate look. The work on the showroom will be completed in time for its 90th anniversary celebrations later this year.
The first part of the project was focused on the showroom lift which has carried a lot of Bentleys up and down over the years. The facility’s basement is next in line followed by the ground floor and mezzanine work which will see the showroom windows blacked out from the end of August.
Some of the showrooms historic features will be retained. The famous brass-handled showroom doors will remain, as will the wood-panelled boardroom. There will also be an eye on preserving the chequered black and white floor tiles, which will remain in place, but will be covered by a smart new floor surface, remaining intact should they be desired in years to come.
H.R.Owen Brand Director, John Stone, commented, “We’re planning to celebrate Jack Barclay’s 90th Anniversary in great style later in the year, once the showroom refit has been completed. Meanwhile we’ll remain open for business throughout the work, and we’ll aim to keep disruption to a minimum for showroom visitors.”
