AWG begins work on 11th site
Just weeks after securing its 10th site, AW Repair Group has already begun work on number 11.
The 11,000 sqft location in Lincoln is undergoing an extensive fit out programme and is due to open in February 2021.
The latest addition is part of the company’s strategic growth plans.
Founder and CEO Andrew Walsh said: “We have always been proud of our Lincolnshire roots and while the headquarters has always been here in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, we are delighted to be opening a site in the county’s historic capital.
“Having recently announced our Sleaford headquarters as our prestige AW TecKnowlogy Repair Centre with multiple prestige manufacturer approvals including Tesla, our Lincoln site will again be a state-of-the-art facility, comprising energy saving initiatives, electric, hybrid and ADAS capabilities mirroring the wider group.
“We continue our drive to invest in energy efficient technology to benefit and improve both the customer journey and our carbon footprint. We are pioneering the new UV Extraction Priming System. This will significantly increase the paint throughput and maximise spraybooth usage reducing key to key. The unit sits over our Skate & Rail Vehicle Transfer System with the ability to prime vehicles without using a spraybooth and instead UVB lamps to cure the primer in as little as 60 seconds.”
The company is committed to carbon reduction and by utilising variable speed drives, fuel saver mode and QADS in spraybooths already achieves 65% less hydro carbon than standard booths. LED-Lighting, eco-friendly radiant heating, plastic and panel repairs, reusable seat and steering wheel covers plus purchasing alternative green parts through Synetiq and The Green Parts Specialists, all work in tandem towards AW’s overall goal of reducing its carbon footprint and achieving PAS2060.
