• The Growth: Group-level job security and clear promotion paths across 3 sites, with the supportive feel of a family run local business.

• Around 2 years of professional workshop experience (independent, fast‑fit, or main dealer).
• NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or equivalent).
