Industry Insights acquires Trend Tracker
Industry Insights has acquired Trend Tracker, a company that undertakes comprehensive reporting and analysis for the UK vehicle body repair and motor insurance markets.
Since 2003, Trend Tracker has produced The Future of the UK Car Body Repair Market report, renowned as credible and thorough research for this sector.
Steve Thompson, director of Industry Insights said: “Having worked in conjunction with Trend Tracker since Mark Bull took over the company several years ago, we saw this as a fantastic opportunity to broaden our offering to the vehicle repair and insurance markets. Mark saw Industry Insights as the natural home for Trend Tracker to continue its progressive approach to critical analysis for the market, that Trend Tracker has delivered over many years, and we wholeheartedly agreed. I am delighted that Paul Sell has joined this exciting new addition to our range of consultancy and claims solutions and will be extensively involved.”
Paul Sell, associate director of Industry Insights, said: “Having been a help to Mark in the recent production of The Future of the Car Repair Market report, I am excited to now be a part of bringing Trend Tracker into Industry Insights and developing its critical analysis of key market matters.”
Mark Bull, former owner of Trend Tracker and director of Auto Body Projects, said: “During my time leading Trend Tracker’s comprehensive research, I’ve been proud to deliver meaningful industry analysis, from which several businesses have made informed strategic decisions.
“However, since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, personal circumstances have caused me to become a little more isolated from certain industry matters, and I therefore feel that Steve and the Industry Insights team are better placed to enhance and develop the next chapter for Trend Tracker, and they’ll do so with my full support, and my blessing.
“Industry Insights has a wealth of market-focused expertise, experience and knowledge that will develop the Trend Tracker market insight further, adding to the solid foundations thus far, I wish them every success in the future.”
