Fix Auto UK’s ambitious plans to further develop and nurture its ever-growing network of independently owned repair bodyshops has received a major boost with the news that Mark Hutchins has been appointed as its new Business Development Manager.

Hailing the signing as a “major coup for the network”, Ian Pugh, who heads the business, welcomes the 43-year-old who joins from Thatcham where he held the post of Repair Sector Customer Manager since 2010.

Ian said: “Building new relationships and cultivating existing ones is of paramount importance to the business. I am passionate about further developing the network through close engagement with repairers with direct, constant, dialogue. Mark joins us with a proven track record within our sector.  Personally speaking, I have witnessed him at work and I have long admired the way in which he conducts himself and I am extremely pleased to have him on board where I am confident he will swiftly develop into an integral member of our senior management team.”

Speaking following his appointment, Mark, said: “Fix Auto UK has an enviable reputation in the industry and has quickly developed into an incredible force to be reckoned with. I have worked closely with Ian, members of his team and numerous franchisees for some time.
