Hull-headquartered React Group has opened a second accident repair centre in Scunthorpe.
The site, on Foxhills Industrial Estate, comes two years after the business launched, with owners John Pattinson, Barry Whittles and Chris Elton uniting to buy Brian Tindall Paint & Body Shop on Mount Pleasant.
A team of technicians and customer service staff has been assembled, wit the aim to employ 20 as business grows.
Mr Pattinson, managing director, said: “The support of our incredible team has meant that we are experiencing higher levels of demand for our services than ever before, so we’re delighted to have opened the doors to our new workshop in Scunthorpe.
“Of course, the current lockdown is proving to be a stressful time for businesses across the UK and in all sectors but we are delighted to say that we are very much open for business.”
Commercial partnerships with the insurance industry saw it strengthen during the first lockdown, with the decision to expand south of the Humber announced in September.
It is also offering a 15 per cent discount to Blue Light Card holders.
“We are dedicated to providing a reliable service for those who need us throughout this lockdown,” Mr Pattinson said. “We know from the first two lockdowns that many key workers found it difficult to find repair and body shops that were trading throughout, so we want to reassure all drivers in the region that we are here to help.
"Our emergency services are doing an incredible job in these challenging times, so we are delighted to be able to give something back to them and make a small gesture to simply say, thank you.”
