TrustFord cuts ribbon on second Quick Lane site
TrustFord has officially opened its new Quick Lane Tyre & Autocentre in Colchester, and stated its ambition to further invest in new Quick Lane sites in the area.
The new site opening represents a £1.1m investment
The new facility is more than 5,000 sqft in size and started trading in November last year, bringing significant investment and three new jobs to the area. These employment opportunities add to TrustFord’s wider commitment to developing careers for individuals – strengthened by its recent partnership with The Prince’s Trust, which gave 15 18–30-year-olds the chance to undertake free training and become Technicians at TrustFord and Quick Lane sites.
Stuart Foulds, chairman and chief executive of TrustFord, said: “At TrustFord, we’re committed to driving the standard in customer care. We know that efficiency and convenience are crucial for our customers, so we‘ve been making investments across our network to ensure the efficient delivery of vehicles and servicing. These new facilities will give us the scale and resource to meet our customers’ servicing needs, and help our colleagues deliver the excellent service that they’re known for.”
John Dines, UK operations director at Quick Lane Europe, added: “We understand that people value products and services that give them time back into their day. We’re taking away the inconvenience of vehicle repair by offering a rapid service that fits around our customers‘ busy lives. Our focus is on being brilliant at the basics and providing local motorists with transparency, convenience and confidence and this will be reflected in our new Colchester site.”
Quick Lane Colchester signals the second standalone site for TrustFord, following the opening of their Prestwich site in Greater Manchester.
