workshop Vibes, a little sneak peak at whats coming

05/10/2026

Your catering trailer should work around your business, not the other way around.

What you cook, how many people work inside, the equipment you need, your storage and prep requirements, and how you serve your customers all influence the way a unit should be designed.

That’s why our builds start with understanding what you actually need. From there, we can work with you to create a layout and specification designed around the way your business operates.

Have an idea you’d like to turn into a build? Get in touch and tell us what you have in mind. 👇

Sometimes it starts with little more than an idea.

A coffee business, burger concept, loaded fries, desserts, street food or something we haven't seen before. You bring us the idea and tell us how you want your business to work, and we can help turn that into a practical catering unit.

From the layout and equipment through to electrics, gas, extraction, refrigeration and the final finish, every build can be designed around a very different way of trading.

So, what would you build if you were starting your own food business? 👀

02/10/2026

A trailer might leave the workshop with one business name on the side, but there are plenty of hands behind every build.

With over 40 years of experience behind A. R. Willis, our team brings together fabrication, fitting, electrics, gas, equipment installation and all those smaller finishing details that turn an empty shell into a working catering unit.

It’s proper hands-on work, and there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes before we hand over the keys.

A little appreciation for the team who make it all happen. 🙌

Got the idea but not sure what the finished unit should look like? That’s where we come in.

We work with all kinds of catering concepts, from coffee and desserts to burgers, pizza, street food and completely new ideas.

Tell us what you want to serve, how you want to operate and what you want your business to feel like. We can help work through the practical side, from choosing the right unit and layout to equipment, utilities and finishing touches.

Your concept doesn’t need to fit into one of our boxes. We build the box around your concept.

Another build moving along nicely in the workshop

The interior is really starting to come together on this one, with the team busy working through the fit-out and those finishing details beginning to transform the space.

There’s still work to be done, but it’s always great to reach the stage where you can really start to see the finished unit taking shape.

We’ll share another look once this one is a little further along!

A little look around the workshop this week 👀

Plenty happening across the workshop, with builds at different stages, equipment going in and units gradually taking shape.

No two weeks, or two builds, ever look quite the same when everything we make is bespoke to the customer and their business.

Here’s a little peek at what we’ve been up to this week!
