So Tim, tell us about Windrush Car Storage…

Established in 2004, we have 100,000 sq ft of storage across two facilities in London and the Cotswolds. We’re also proud to be ISO 9001 certified and HMRC customs bonded.

What steps are involved in the Windrush Car Storage service?
Every car at Windrush Car Storage gets a 6-star service. This starts with a 12-step induction process, which includes everything from taking photographs to increasing the tyre pressures. While the car is with us, we inspect the vehicle daily, and every 60 days, we conduct maintenance checks to make sure everything is in working order. Then, as you leave, our departure protocol covers everything from fluid level and MOT checks to interior and exterior finishing.
Such are the high standards of Windrush’s approach that we have earned the highly coveted ISO 9001 certification. This recognises the quality-management principles, process-driven approach and continual business improvement.
Finally, what will your partnership with SUSTAIN mean for customers?
On a practical level, SUSTAIN fuel can work seamlessly with existing engines without any modifications. As a storage fuel, it contains a premium additive package that helps prevent fuel degradation, protect against corrosion, and maintain optimal engine condition during storage periods. But there’s also the environmental benefit.
By making SUSTAIN’s premium sustainable fuels available at our facilities, we’re providing our clients with a solution that maintains the authentic character and performance of their vehicles while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This collaboration embodies our philosophy that with the right approach, the vehicles we cherish today can continue to be enjoyed responsibly far into the future.
