McCarthys has had the privilege of partnering with some iconic brands. Not only did these early projects shape the direction of our business, and set the standard for the service we continue to deliver today, they helped drive those brands forward too. Let’s take a look at those we partnered with and where they are today.

Jaguar

In 1996, McCarthys supported Jaguar’s Network Expansion Project, providing cable management solutions and redesigning workstations for the integration of PCs. This initiative was part of a broader digital transformation at Jaguar and opened the door to significant future work as the business expanded and developed new sites, including Whitley.

Today, Jaguar operates under Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). The company’s headquarters remain in Whitley, Coventry and JLR is shifting its focus toward electric vehicle innovation, aiming to become all-electric by 2025. 

Tarmac Central

McCarthys’ first engagement with Tarmac began in 2000, involving the relocation of staff and office furniture across multiple sites. The project spanned consultancy, logistics, design, and construction, laying the groundwork for the multidisciplinary approach we are known for today.

Now, Tarmac remains a major player in the building materials industry and is part of the global CRH Group. Their materials continue to shape infrastructure across the UK — from roads and bridges to iconic urban spaces.

Peugeot

The first project with Peugeot was in 1992, supplying office furniture for their space at Aldermoor House, Coventry. This contract marked the beginning of a long-lasting, trusted partnership that evolved into full office refurbishments. 

Having outgrown the space, Peugeot relocated to Pinley House in Coventry in 2008. The company is now part of Stellantis, one of the world’s largest automotive groups, alongside brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Citroën, Vauxhall and Alfa Romeo.

Courtaulds

McCarthys carried out several projects for Courtalds, beginning in 1990 with the supply of systems furniture for their Coventry site. This eventually expanded to include fitout works at various sites across the UK.

Although Courtaulds was broken up in the late 1990s, with various divisions sold or merged, its legacy lives on in the global supply of fibres and chemicals, although under new and ownership and branding. One successor company, Amtico Flooring, is still headquartered in Coventry.

Anglo Irish Bank

The Old Jewry project in 2000, was the first of several high-spec refurbishments McCarthys delivered nationally for the business. By 2003, McCarthys was delivering digital infrastructure projects too, including an extranet system.

Following the global financial crisis, the bank was nationalised in 2009 and eventually liquidated. While the institution is no longer active, it remains an important chapter in our history of delivering secure, high-performance environments for the financial sector.
