The Drivers HQ

Over the past year, we’ve noticed something interesting.

More and more people are coming in asking for 5L and even 25L bottles. Not detailers. Not valeters. Just sensible weekend warriors who have realised that buying small bottles over and over again is basically setting fire to money.

Buying in bulk can save anywhere from 25% up to 500% on some brands. Which is not a discount. That’s daylight robbery in reverse.

So we are now aiming to stock most of our products in 5L in store, and we will also be bringing in 25L sizes online for the heavy users, the fleet washers, and the people who clean their car more often than they clean their house.

If you use it regularly, buying bulk just makes sense.

Let’s get saving.

And don’t forget, we have moved.

So. As most of you already know, we’ve officially moved out of our Derby store.

And yes, that was a big decision.

We’re now nearly finished with the new setup in Ilkeston. It’s coming together properly. Cleaner, tighter, more focused.

If you received the email, you’ll already know why we made this move. This isn’t downsizing. It isn’t panic. It’s positioning.

Over the next year and a half to two years, we are making serious moves as a collective of companies. Everything under one roof. Smarter systems. Bigger strategy.

This is the foundation phase.

Then we scale.

Big things are coming. Just watch
Thanks to for reminding me I’m shocking at social media

Another smashing job from the TDHQ Detailing and Training Centre

As car enthusiasts ourselves, it’s incredibly humbling to know that our work can play a small part in something so meaningful.
The care, attention, and passion we put into every detail makes moments like this truly special, knowing it contributed to someone’s final drive to their resting place is something we’ll never forget. ❤️

Thank you so much funerals for football fans for trusting us with this very special project. 🙏
