Reep Group has seen exponential growth over the last 18 months opening new luxury car detailing and paint protection suites across the UK. Each site offers full detailing, Swissvax and Gtechniq ceramic protection together with the latest in Paint Protection Film (PPF) application from LLumar and PremiumShield. The sites also offer detailing and PPF support to our nationwide client base.
Reep Yorkshire was the original site based just outside Harrogate in North Yorkshire and has recently seen large scale investment in clean rooms and climate control with 4,000 sq.ft available to detail and protect cars for our local clients. APM Customs (Yorkshire) is also housed at the premises offering full colour change wrapping services, commercial wrapping and decal application with access to in house printing design and fulfilment.
Myles Collins, the new owner and Managing Director of the business has been with Reep and Swissvax for 7 years as a detailer and more latterly as Studio Manager following a period in Reep South East in Reading helping the Group to set up that centre. The staff of 5 remain with the business and will be working with Myles to create one of the finest detailing and PPF businesses in the North of England.
Talking of the acquisition, Myles commented “I am delighted to have acquired Reep Yorkshire – my team and I have a super opportunity to grow this business and as importantly, really build a team that are World Class – we have access to the resources of the Reep Group and Best Practice from around the UK from the only Nationwide Luxury Car Care Brand – my team are hugely excited too at what the future holds – we have some exciting plans to extend our offering into the wrapping arena and also build mobile detailing and valeting capability as so many of our clients need that flexibility”.
Chris McDonald, of Reep Group said of the acquisition, “I am delighted for Myles and the team to be the first Franchisee of the Reep Detailing franchise. Myles is the longest serving detailer across the group and really had a desire to own his own business – what better than to do this and own a part of the Reep success story? He has real passion for the business that he has worked in over the years and the time was right for him to really move to the next stage. What better way to prove your commitment to any business and staff other than to put your money where your mouth is and that is exactly what Myles has done!”
Reep Group will continue with its expansion programme in the UK as their business with leading and independent dealer group and private customer continues to grow and The Reep Group anticipates that the market for car detailing is currently growing at around 10% per year. Reep Group has other sites in the pipeline in key strategic locations around the UK to support our growth and support network for OEM’s and dealerships alongside our VIP client base.
