Motofix Group, with backing from insurer, esure, have been helping vehicle repair skills organisation AutoRaise by hosting a Showcase Event that drew over 80 potential new apprentices to the firm’s Yeovil accident repair centre.
With a brief to attract young people into the vehicle repair industry, staff from the local Bridgwater College and S&B were on hand to offer information and advice on which training courses would best suit attendees.
Commenting on the success of the event, Bob Linwood, Chief Executive Officer, AutoRaise said, “We were delighted that the Motofix event went so well and attracted so much interest from local young people. This is another example that our Industry Showcase Events are an established way of promoting our industry to young people. The enquiries about becoming an apprentice have also confirmed that when we take this approach, young people do see the vehicle repair industry as a great career destination.
“I know that Richard and his team worked tirelessly to deliver a great event and we are very proud to have Motofix as a key supporter to the industry charity. We are also looking forward to the other forthcoming events and we continue to attract interest from repairers who want to host their own AutoRaise Industry Showcase event.”
Richard Tutt, Managing Director of the Motofix Group, added, “AutoRaise gave us the inspiration and confidence to host our first apprentice showcase event, and we are delighted with how well the evening went. There was a great turn-out of young people, who all showed an interest and excitement in the automotive industry. We are proud to be working with AutoRaise to attract future technicians into our industry.”
