London, November 2026. Advanced Commercial Interiors (ACI) has completed the fit out of a new 17,000 sq ft flagship dealership for Clive Sutton at Staples Corner in north west London.

Clive Sutton is the UK distributor for GM Specialty Vehicles. The new site is the centrepiece of its growing UK network, which sells Corvette supercars, Cadillac SUVs, Shelby performance models, and Chevrolet SUVs and pickup trucks.

ACI was appointed as main contractor for the project, which was delivered over six months. The works covered the showroom, two floors of offices, the workshop and the warehouse.

A Showroom Built Around the Customer

The showroom was designed to give visitors a welcoming first impression and a comfortable place to talk about their next vehicle. ACI installed a new reception desk and a meet and greet breakout area with lounge seating and coffee tables. A two-seater privacy booth gives customers a quieter space for one-to-one conversations with the sales team.

Six new windows were added to the showroom. These give passers-by a clear view of the vehicles from outside and bring more natural light into the upstairs areas. External LED spotlights with motion sensors complete the exterior.

The ground floor sales offices are enclosed with black-framed glass office partitions with manifestation. This keeps the sales team visible from the showroom floor while giving them a defined workspace.

Modern Offices Across Two Floors

Behind the showroom, ACI reconfigured the ground floor sales offices and the first floor, which includes an open-plan office, a boardroom and directors’ offices.

The works included solid and glazed office partitions, drylining and new oak veneer doors. On the first floor, a black suspended ceiling with LED panel lighting and motion sensors gives the space a sleek, modern finish. Dim-out roller blinds were also fitted.

The air conditioning was modified to suit the new layout, with cassette units installed in the sales and directors’ offices. New data, power and fire alarm alterations were carried out throughout. ACI also supplied completely new office furniture across both floors.

What the Client Said

Paul Collins, Head of Network and Business Development at Clive Sutton, said:

“ACI have played a pivotal role in delivering our new Clive Sutton dealership at Staples Corner.”

He added that the team is “exceptionally impressed with the finished development”, and described ACI as “an excellent development partner”.

Roy Thompson, Director at ACI, said: “It’s been a real privilege to deliver Clive Sutton’s flagship site. Bringing the showroom, offices, workshop and storage together under one contract meant we could keep the whole project joined up from start to finish. We’re really proud of the result.”
