FIX AUTO UK SPREADS ITS WINGS NORTH IN ITS DRIVE TO INCREASE ITS NORTHERN IRELAND STANDING

Fix Auto UK’s recruitment drive in Northern Ireland is gaining momentum with the network signing its second repair centre since the summer with the appointment of MRB Auto Body that will operate as Fix Auto Ballymoney.

Significantly, the 10,000 sq ft repair centre, which is approximately 15 miles from the historic Giants Causeway, is the network’s first site situated north of Belfast and is ideally positioned between Ballymena and Coleraine which is little under an hour’s drive from Londonderry.

The appointment follows that of Fix Auto Saintfield in August and Fix Auto Lagan Side in October 2021 which takes the collective amount of bodyshop space in Northern Ireland to more than 26,000 sq ft and a capacity to repair up to 160 vehicles a month. The main bodyshop sits within a four-acre plot surrounded by additional buildings leaving plenty of scope for further development.

Owner Matthew Balfour, who is investing significantly in the facility in order to join the network, first declared his intention to join in July but has been working towards attaining his BSI 10125 accreditation, one of the prerequisites needed to join the network, which is imminent.
