After a great deal of thought, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close the business over the next couple of months.
The last three years have been some of the toughest I have ever faced. Despite being extremely busy and having the support of so many fantastic customers, the reality is that the business is no longer financially viable. With increasing costs, high tax burdens, and constant pressure on small businesses, we have reached a point where we cannot even take a modest wage, let alone make a profit.
I have worked an average of 60-hour weeks and given everything I possibly can, but I simply cannot work any harder.
This decision has been heartbreaking. Most people who know me know how passionate I am about cars and the motor trade. My dream was to build something special alongside my son and my dad – a family business we could all be proud of. Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t work out the way we hope, and it just wasn’t meant to be.
I want to take this opportunity to thank every single customer who has trusted us with their vehicles and supported us along the way. Your loyalty, recommendations, and friendship have meant more than you will ever know.
We wanted to give our valued customers plenty of notice, so if there is any work you would like us to carry out before we close our doors, please get booked in as soon as possible. Even if you don’t need anything doing, it would be wonderful to see you one last time, so if you’re passing by, please pop in and say hello.
Finally, I would like to say how incredibly proud we are of Tom, who has secured an amazing opportunity and will soon complete his apprenticeship. It has been an honour to support him at the start of his career, and we know he has a very bright future ahead of him.
Thank you all for being part of our journey. We will always be grateful for your support. Final closing date tbc
