Personally speaking, I have witnessed him at work and I have long admired the way in which he conducts himself and I am extremely pleased to have him on board where I am confident he will swiftly develop into an integral member of our senior management team.’
Speaking following his appointment, Mark, said, ‘Fix Auto UK has an enviable reputation in the industry and has quickly developed into an incredible force to be reckoned with. I have worked closely with Ian, members of his team and numerous franchisees for some time.
