At The Business Centre, we love seeing incredible Welsh businesses thrive. Even better? Watching them grow from strength to strength within our flexible serviced office spaces. One of those success stories is Capital Garage Equipment Limited, a flourishing Welsh business that’s gone from a home office to becoming a trusted nationwide supplier of commercial garage equipment.
Business Growth at The Business Centre: “Everything we need is readily available”
When Roger Cox, Company Director of Capital Garage Equipment, first launched his business from home, the company grew quickly thanks largely to word-of-mouth recommendations. As demand increased, Roger realised he needed more space — not just for himself, but to build his team.
That’s when he found The Business Centre, the perfect base to support his growing business.
“The Business Centre has been an ideal fit for us,” says Roger.
“Everything we need is readily available, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate their support.”
A Larger Serviced Office Space to Accommodate Big Goals
Roger joined The Business Centre in March 2022 and hasn’t looked back since. This year, in 2025, Capital Garage Equipment reached another exciting milestone — moving into a larger serviced office space within The Business Centre to accommodate future expansion.
“We sought a new office environment to gain a bit more space, which will enable us to add another desk in the future if our team expands,” Roger explains.
“It’s fantastic! The additional space enhances our workflow and allows us to work more efficiently.”
How to Grow a Business: Competitive Prices, Excellent Quality, and Tailored Customer Service
Capital Garage Equipment is a small business, but its reach is impressive. The company primarily supplies commercial garage equipment to the heavy goods vehicle (HGV) industry — working with haulage companies, local transportation businesses, and waste management services across the UK and Ireland.
“The type of products we sell include brake testers (both mobile and in-ground), prefabricated inspection pits, headlight testers, smoke analysers, column lifts, compressors, and much more,” says Roger.
“Our customers trust us for competitive prices, excellent quality, and tailored customer service.”
With its expert offering, Capital Garage Equipment has become a specialist, well-known supplier within the industry, securing large contracts and expanding its product range over the past few years.
A Strong Sense of Unity & Encouragement at The Business Centre
Being based at The Business Centre in our flexible serviced office has provided the perfect environment for Roger’s business to grow.
“The support we require as a business is exactly what The Business Centre offers. We benefit from on-site IT support, mail services, stationery supplies, breakout areas, and of course, Mel’s Café!” Roger shares.
“Even though we each operate our own businesses, there’s a strong sense of unity and encouragement among us all.”
Capital Garage Equipment Welcomes a New Team Member
In March, Roger welcomed Sallie Jones to the Capital Garage Equipment team.
“Sallie has over ten years of experience in marketing within the automotive industry. She’s significantly contributed to growing our online presence and helps manage the day-to-day operations of the business.”
Taking the Business on the Road
Capital Garage Equipment isn’t just growing within the walls of The Business Centre — the team is also out there meeting clients and making connections across the UK.
Most recently, the company exhibited at the Welsh Construction Show on May 21st at Cardiff City Stadium.
“This event was a tremendous success for us,” Roger says.“Our stand was among approximately 60 other businesses, attracting over 700 attendees. It was a great opportunity to meet potential customers, connect with prospective suppliers, and increase our brand visibility. We generated some excellent leads and we’re certainly looking forward to participating again in the future.”
For Roger, these events are a vital part of the business.
“Even though we’re a nationwide company, we’re really at our best when we can chat to people face-to-face. I travel all over the country visiting clients, but these local events let us connect right here in Wales. It’s amazing to see how far people come to attend.”
Why Customers Choose Capital Garage Equipment
So, what makes Capital Garage Equipment stand out?
“We bring our customers competitively priced, excellent quality commercial garage equipment combined with personal, tailored service. We see their installation through from beginning to end, including any civil works that may be needed. All of our garage equipment is of an excellent standard — the best in the business!”
Word of mouth remains a powerful driver of new business, but the company also actively advertises on Google and through their website, helping to grow their national customer base from Scotland to Cornwall.
Capital Garage Equipment: Space and Support to Thrive
With their trusted name now known across the UK and Ireland, Capital Garage Equipment is proof of what’s possible when a local Welsh business is given the space and support to thrive.
At The Business Centre, we’re proud to be the home where this growth story continues — and we can’t wait to see what’s next for Roger and his team.
