Customer: Caravan Club

Requirement:  The Caravan Club provides services and facilities for over 850,000 people, so it is a top priority to the organisation to ensure that everyone has full access to all the facilities on its 160 sites across the country.

Following a review of resources, Allan Wilkinson, Senior Development Manager for Estates at the Caravan Club, identified 11 sites that needed additional facilities to provide full access for people with disabilities.

Solution: After meeting with two providers of toilet and washroom facilities, Portaloo products were selected to provide the required facilities.

Allan Wilkinson said: "We needed to provide toilets and showers that would provide easy access for people with disabilities, particularly wheelchair users.

"The Portaloo disabled person’s toilet and shower buildings provide quality interim facilities suitable for our needs. The fact that Portaloo is such a well-established brand with a good geographical spread gave us complete peace-of-mind, as the sites we required the toilets and showers for were nationwide."

The purpose-built Portaloo toilet and shower buildings provided include a single pedestal, allowing plenty of room for wheelchair manoeuvring, grab handles around the hand basin and pedestal, as well as a raised toilet seat for easy transfer from wheelchairs, and a low level door threshold for easy access.

Each building was delivered and installed by a team of highly experienced professionals, allowing the facilities to be ready for use within hours.
