A Willenhan business is going places and it is not just science fiction.
Tardis Toilet Hire of Cannock Road, New Invention, is taking off and expanding into the hire containers too.
The firm, established in 1993 by the Boydon Group of Companies. sprang from the demand for portable toilets needed to serve the construction industry and public outdoor events.
And founder and managing director Chris Boydon is unashamed to confess that the inspiration for the firm's name comes from the cult sci-fi TV serie Dr Who's time travel machine.
"I was and am a big Dr Who fan When we were looking at a name there were quite a few in the offing, but we decided to go for this one," he said.
Employs
"It is now getting very well known in the construction trade."
The firm, which is managed by Chris's son Rob, has grown in the last five years so that it now has 130 toilet units and employs eight full time.
And it is now branching out to include container hire as part of its business brief. which is already complemented by its tool hire portfolio
He said the container business had grown out of a demand from toilet hire customers that need storage units on construction sites.
The company is a real family affair. Mr Boydon senior's sons Carl and Adrian and daughter Katie also join Rob and his wife Sandra in the business.
Rob said mime of the units really are bigger than they look as they include special facilities to cater for diasbled customers
