Really proud to be able to give back to St Patrick's Technical College that played a part in my own journey. It’s great to now have the opportunity to provide students like Blaine with some hands-on experience and hopefully give them a glimpse into what a career in the automotive industry can offer.

Thanks to St Pat’s for continuing to support local businesses and create opportunities for the next generation of tradespeople.

Farewell & Thank You, Sean 👨‍🔧
This week we say farewell to Sean, who’s been an important part of Glenrothes for most of his life.
Sean’s story with the workshop goes all the way back to 1994, when he first started helping his dad Billy, who founded the business back in 1969. What started as helping out during school holidays and occasionally after school soon turned into a full-time passion.

Sean began his apprenticeship under his dad in 1994, continuing the family legacy of honest, quality mechanical work that GMR has always stood for.
In 2002, Sean proudly took over the business from Billy, running it with the same dedication and care for more than two decades. When I had the opportunity to purchase the workshop from Sean in 2023, he stayed on to help with the transition and continue serving our customers with the same professionalism he’s always shown.

On behalf of the whole team and our loyal customers. Thank you, Sean, for everything you’ve done over the years. Your knowledge, commitment, and easy-going nature have made a lasting impact on GMR Auto Repairs and also myself as not only a mentor, but also a friend.

We wish you all the very best for what comes next! 👏
