Precision Repair Group (PRG) has announced that UK Truck Group of Hoddesdon has joined as its ninth business and third in commercial vehicles.
UK Truck Group repairs and services HGVs and LCVs, runs MOT and ATF testing, maintains a customer’s fleet on the customer’s own site, and supplies truck and trailer parts from two parts centres.
John Culora founded the business in 2013, and for over a decade it has traded as an independent truck repairer, a multi-manufacturer parts supplier and an approved Renault Trucks dealership.
Today it runs as two companies across three sites. In Hoddesdon, a 24-hour workshop services and repairs HGVs and LCVs, with its own bodyshop and paint facility and an ATF lane that opened in April 2025. In Hatfield, a dedicated team has maintained a customer’s fleet on the customer’s own site since 2017, and in Hoddesdon and Flamstead, two independently-run parts centres give customers one-stop truck and trailer parts with same-day delivery.
Following the deal, the company will continue to trade as before, with the workshop, the fleet team and the parts centres unchanged and Culora remaining as managing director.
Obvious partner
He said: “PRG stood out as the obvious partner for us on this next phase of our journey. The synergies between our businesses were clear from the outset and their highly experienced leadership team share our values and vision for the future.
“Everything we have achieved so far has been built on the trust of our clients and our commitment to delivering the highest levels of service. By joining PRG, we gain the backing and resources to continue that commitment while creating new opportunities for growth, expansion and further development of our existing operations.
“It was essential that I stay actively involved after joining the PRG team. This business has been a major part of my life, and I am deeply committed to its long-term growth and success.”
Important step
Vic Turner, group CEO, PRG, said: “The addition of UK Truck Group is another important step in strengthening PRG’s commercial vehicle division. It broadens our capabilities across servicing, maintenance, testing, accident repair and parts supply, enabling us to offer an increasingly comprehensive proposition to fleet operators across the UK.
“John started this business in 2013 with a workshop in Hoddesdon and built it on one idea: that a fleet operator should never have to wait. That is why the workshop runs 24 hours, why there is a team based on a customer’s own site, and why two parts centres deliver the same day. We did not acquire this business to change it. We acquired it because it represents exactly the kind of customer-focused approach we want across PRG.
“John will continue to lead UK Truck Group, retaining the identity, culture and expertise that have made the business so successful. Our role is to support that success through investment, shared expertise and the resources to accelerate growth, strengthen capabilities and reach more fleet customers across the UK.”
