FMG, part of the Redde Northgate group, has given its backing to AutoRaise – the vehicle repair industry charity created to address the skills crisis.
The new partnership comes off the back of AutoRaise’s recent ‘Stepping Up’ campaign which saw it call upon key industry stakeholders to help support the charity through a challenging time.
It is envisaged that this new relationship will also extend to provide a closer working partnership between AutoRaise and the former Nationwide vehicle repair sites, now operated by FMG Repair Services.
“I’m so pleased to have the support of the FMG business, part of Redde Northgate Plc, during what has been a difficult time for our charity,” said Bob Linwood, AutoRaise CEO. “We have been I dialogue with Redde Northgate for a while and our call for emergency funding from the work provider sector was the catalyst for FMG’s involvement.”
Andrew Chandler, FMG sales director, said, “We are fully supportive of AutoRaise and the work that they do to maintain and improve standards of skill, knowledge and workmanship across the sector.
“AutoRaise’s mission goes hand in hand with the sustainability of the skillset required to meet the evolving repair methodology of modern-day vehicles. The work of AutoRaise will inch the industry ever closer to filling the gaps already seen today.”
AutoRaise is still asking insurers and work providers to support the charity to help ensure there is a sustainable, trained workforce for the future. Please contact Jen Evans for more information.
