A1 ADAS Group acquires Autocalibration
ADAS and diagnostic solutions provider A1 ADAS Group has announced it has acquired West Midlands-based Autocalibration.
Autocalibration will sit alongside the Group’s existing subsidiary companies, A1 ADAS Solutions and A1 Remote Diagnostics.
It will retain its brand name and all staff will remain with the company. This includes founder Gavin Jenks, who will now become regional director for the West Midlands.
A1 ADAS Group director Iain Molloy said: “This is a significant step in strengthening the Group’s position in the sector. Autocalibration is a successful mobile ADAS calibration and programming services company with an excellent reputation in and around the West Midlands.
“As well as the business being a natural geographical fit for us, Gavin and his team’s values are completely aligned with those of the A1 ADAS Group. This was our number one prerequisite.”
Hellen Molloy added: “Being a business which operates to the British Standard 10125 Kitemark, we work to a very high bar. Our ethos of ‘doing it right’ runs through every single aspect of the Group’s operations, and it was clear the team at Autocalibration strive for that level of service too. We’re thrilled to have them on board.”

Jenks said: “My vision for Autocalibration to become a significant player in this fast-evolving area of the sector required significant investment. That’s a tough hill to climb on your own, so it was a no-brainer to join forces with A1 ADAS Group.
“Understandably, I’m very protective of Autocalibration’s staff and customers, so was mindful that this had to be a good move for them too. It is, without a doubt. Staff will benefit from working with a family-orientated, forward-thinking, and innovative business, and customers will benefit from a whole new range of products, services, and technical support.
“They’ll have access to independent and trusted advice from a group of companies that understand exactly what they need – because as well as providing ADAS and diagnostic equipment, A1 do the same calibration and programming work every day that their customers do.
“There’s no better way to know what solutions bodyshops are looking for, than to stand in their shoes. That’s what makes the A1 ADAS Group unique, and I’m very proud to now be part of it.”
