Fix Auto UK’s Northern Ireland Proposition Elevated to New Heights with Appointment of Brand-New Flagship Bodyshop

Less than two weeks after appointing its fourth site in Northern Ireland, Fix Auto UK is excited to announce that Lennons Accident Repair Specialists has joined the network and will now operate as Fix Auto Cookstown.

And the appointment could not be any finer.

Original owners John and Linda Lennon who were later joined by their son, Paul, have recently relocated their entire operation into a prestigious, purpose-built, 10,000 sq ft state-of-the-art repair centre complete with new offices. Geographically, the new appointment firmly bridges the void the network had between Belfast in the east and Derry/Londonderry in the north.

Furthermore, with the ink on their Fix Auto UK contract barely dry, the business immediately had cause to celebrate having gained a 100 per cent pass in gaining their BSI 10125 certification.

Designed to ensure a seamless work-throughput guaranteeing efficient repairs, the new site holds three spraybooths, one of which has been ingeniously created within what has been designated as a high-ceiling strip and fit area that also includes a fine filtration system that enables the larger lorries and other commercial vehicles to be repaired.  

Commenting on joining the network, Paul said: “I can only repeat what my fellow repairers over here who’ve already joined Fix Auto UK have said, the days of operating as a lone independent are long gone and we need every element of help and support if we are to continue to thrive. We have invested heavily in developing this new site and we are exceptionally pleased and proud of what we’ve achieved, but, going forward, we realise we need to be part of a group of ambitious like-minded bodyshops.”

Linda added: “My husband started the business in 1972 and we have an exceptional reputation but we are ambitious. The new building signalled a new era for us, joining Fix Auto UK is a whole new chapter too and will, we are sure, help further elevate us.”

Speaking during a recent tour of the region which also coincided with Fix Auto Cookstown signing their contract, Fix Auto UK’s Operations Director Mark Hutchins, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have John, Linda, Paul and the team on board. Our growth and stature in Northern Ireland continues to grow at an impressive pace, Fix Auto Laganside, Saintfield and Balleymoney have firmly established our proposition   over the last three years, with Fix Auto Cookstown now on board, and let’s not forget the recent appointment of Fix Auto Greenisland, our proposition to serve motorists right across the region has never been stronger.

“You really cannot help but to be impressed by the new centre the Lennons have developed, it truly is a prestigious site that elevates our position to yet another level.”
