How a Last-Minute Roof Box Saved the Starkey Family’s Centre Parcs Holiday
At South Staffordshire Roof Box Hire, we help local families travel in comfort without the stress of packing nightmares. And for Mr & Mrs Starkey from Codsall, we came to the rescue just in time before their Easter 2025 getaway to Centre Parcs Woburn Forest.
The Problem: Not Enough Space for the Family and the Dog
With two young children and their beloved dog, the Starkey family started preparing for their trip two days before departure. But as they laid out clothes, scooters, swim bags, and outdoor gear, it quickly became obvious—everything wasn’t going to fit into their Ford Focus.
With their dog taking up the boot and the children buckled in the back, they had no room left for luggage. Panic started to creep in. Could they leave the dog with relatives? Could they manage without half their gear? That’s when they turned to Google and found us.
The Solution: Fast, Friendly, and Fully Fitted Roof Box Hire
The Starkeys found South Staffordshire Roof Box Hire online, saw our glowing 5-star reviews, and gave us a call—though admittedly with low expectations due to the short notice. But we quickly reassured them:
- We have over 150 sets of roof bars in stock between our location in Codsall and our location in Tamworth
- We offer a choice of roof box sizes
- We could accommodate their fitting appointment the very next day
After a quick chat, we advised the Thule 470 litre roof box would be ideal for their needs. It would give them more than enough space to carry everything comfortably—including the dog’s gear, toys for the kids, and even extras they hadn’t planned on.
The Result: A Relaxed Family Holiday
We scheduled the fitting around their work commitments, and the box was professionally fitted the day before they travelled. They were amazed by how much they could pack into the roof box.
From bulky items like coats and bedding to extra food supplies and the kids’ scooters—everything fit with room to spare. The car was uncluttered, the kids had room to stretch, and their dog could travel in comfort.
The Starkeys enjoyed an incredible week at Centre Parcs, and when they returned the box, they were beaming. Not only had it saved their holiday, but they’d already booked us again for their summer trip—and recommended us to friends in Codsall and Bilbrook.
A 5-Star Review from the Starkey Family
“We were in a real panic before our Easter trip—there was no way everything would fit in the car with the kids and the dog. South Staffordshire Roof Box Hire were absolutely amazing. From our first call to fitting the box the day before we left, they couldn’t do enough to help. The roof box was spotless, huge, and made our holiday so much easier. Highly recommended—already booked again for August!” — Mr & Mrs Starkey, Codsall
