Fix Auto Blackburn becomes 150th Fix Auto UK site
Fix Auto UK has announced that Fix Auto Blackburn has become its 150th repair centre, marking a major milestone in the organisation’s continual growth.
Fittingly, the feat has been secured by father and son duo Stephen and Sam Smith, who joined the organisation in September 2005.
Based in Darwen, the new 12,500 sqft site will complement their established Fix Auto Bradford, Fix Auto Keighley, Fix Auto Leeds South and Fix Auto Leeds North centres.
Sam Smith said: “Being that 150th site is a real privilege for us, particularly given our 21-year journey with Fix Auto UK. We’ve grown alongside it and the support, relationships and opportunities it has provided have played a huge part in helping us reach this point.
“Opening our fifth repair centre is another exciting chapter for our business and we’re proud to be marking such a significant milestone. We look forward to continuing to grow with Fix Auto UK and seeing what the next chapter brings.”
Ian Pugh, managing director of the Advantage Group of Companies that Fix Auto UK lies within, added: “Reaching our 150th repair centre is a monumental moment for Fix Auto UK – it’s the target I publicly set when I took on the managing director’s role in 2011. It is particularly fitting this milestone has been achieved by two of our longest-standing partners in Stephen and Sam.
“Their commitment, entrepreneurial drive, spirit and continued investment are fine examples of what can be achieved by being part of our family. To see their business grow to five high-performing and super-efficient repair centres alongside our own development is testament to the strength of our franchise partnerships and the opportunities our model provides.”
