After 25 incredible years as Managing Director of UK Carbody, the time has come for me to share that I am stepping down and moving on to my next chapter.
Building this business in Bristol from the ground up has been the professional journey of a lifetime. From our early days to becoming a leading insurance-approved accident repair center, every milestone achieved was the result of collective effort and a commitment to excellence.
A Debt of Gratitude
I want to extend my deepest thanks to:
Our Staff: You are the heartbeat of this company. Your craftsmanship, technical expertise, and dedication to getting our customers back on the road safely have defined our reputation. It has been a privilege to lead such a talented team.
Our Customers & Partners: Thank you for your trust and loyalty over the last quarter-century. Your belief in our work allowed us to thrive and grow into the business we are today.
The Future with The Vella Group
As I look toward the future of UK Carbody, I am pleased to share that the business has been acquired by The Vella Group.
Finding the right successor was my primary concern, and I am confident that The Vella Group is the perfect cultural fit. They share our core values of quality and integrity, and I know they will be excellent custodians of the legacy we have built together. I look forward to seeing the business continue to flourish under their stewardship.
It has been an honor to serve this industry for 25 years. Thank you all for being part of the story.
