The approval process has required a significant focus on training, quality standards and operational excellence, and I am incredibly proud of the team for embracing the challenge and delivering the standards required by such a prestigious manufacturer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Hutchins, Operations Director for Fix Auto UK, added: &#8220;It is fantastic to see Fix Auto Chelmsford join the growing number of Franchise Partners securing manufacturer approvals.
