This page aims to explains a little about my working background and how I came to set up movemymotor.co.uk.
Being the son of a mechanic, it was perhaps inevitble that I would develop a keen interest in all things automotive. Every evening after school, most Saturdays and a fair chunk of the holidays were spent learning the trade. I went on to train as a Motor Vehicle Engineer at the local college and ran the family garage business for several years.
Unfortunately I was becoming disillusioned with the increasing number of "euro boxes" coming through the workshop doors. Many of the faults were electronic, requiring specialist diagnostic equipment and most parts were throw away meaning I almost never repaired anything.
Eventually I decided a change of direction was in order, so I sold up and took a job with a company who built replicas of the early MG's. My role as workshop manager included product development, notably a prototype fuel injected 3.9 V8 model, a left hand drive version for the European market and overcoming many compliance issues with the introduction of the Single Vehicle Approval scheme.
As the company grew, so did their requirement for a reliable vehicle logistics solution. I saw my opportuntity and purchased my first transporter. From then on, much of my spare time was spent ferrying demonstration cars to and from shows, or collecting customers' vehicle for refurbishment or completetion. In time I had established a small customer base of local businesses and individuals so I made the decision to devote all my time to transportation........
