Interesting.
Anyone care to speculate on the background to that deal ?

My guess is that the owner Geoff Everett who has owned the business since 1987 is getting to the age where realising the value of the business by way of a trade sale makes eminent sense. Along comes a "strategic buyer" and it all falls into place.
Pure speculation mind you!

Could be, but I thought he sold out a few years ago. Scott went off to Aus a while back too. Didn't Simon own it last ?

I think this is a really positive move, especially as the location will help some of us nearer London who had to travel to get things done to our cars.
I know the new owner locally who is a decent chap and I am sure the guys will do everything they can to make this a success going forward

Thats quite a change of location! So I wonder how many of the staff will be moving?

Good news for APS and MRC.
Still a shame to see one of the smarter tuners going.
One more for the chav brigade. Get yer Burberry out.

Although they may be nearer me now, It'll take a lot of good reports before I consider using them. It's still MRC for me
