FIX AUTO READING PAS 2060 SUCCESS

Fix Auto Reading is the latest Franchise Partner from within the Fix Auto UK network to successfully gain its PAS 2060 accreditation, with business owners Paul Carkett and David Benjamin crediting their ongoing investments and the drive of their staff for being eco-conscious for making the process as effortless as possible.

To achieve their certifications, the Berkshire repairer turned to Purchase Direct, Fix Auto UK’s procurement and cost-reduction partner, who used its ‘Driving Net Zero’ programme to assess their businesses.  

Paul said: “Like so many repairers we continually invest in our business and especially our premises. Converting to energy efficient LED lighting and changing our spraybooth to operate as a ‘direct fire’ powered unit has made it more than 40 per cent efficient.

“Operating a carbon neutral repair centre must be a goal of every repairer in the country. Numerous fellow sites within the Fix Auto UK network are already PAS 2060 certified and are leading the way for the industry with numerous initiatives to ensure their carbon footprints are dramatically reduced year-on-year, I am just delighted to be joining them.”

Matt Woods, Sustainability Lead at Purchase Direct added, “We are really pleased to be working with the team at Fix Auto Reading to help them achieve their environmental goals. I am delighted to say they have successfully achieved carbon neutral verification in accordance with PAS 2060 for their first application period and we we look forward to our ongoing work together to reduce their carbon footprint in line with their current commitments.”
