Rebrand announced as provider makes double acquisition

Service provider Activate Group has acquired two repair sites from Motorcare as it looks to grow following insurer demand.

The deal will see the two sites, which are based in Tunbridge Wells and Bristol, become part of Activate Accident Repair, the group’s bodyshop division.

They will also be rebranded under the Activate Accident Repair banner.

The acquisition comes as Activate Group looks to expand its repair capacity in high-demand areas.

Hannah Wilcox, chief executive at Activate Group, said: “Our acquisition of these Motorcare sites is a strategic step to better support our fleet and insurer clients, meeting the demands of our growing customer base in high-need areas.”

The sites

The Tunbridge Wells and Bristol sites will form part of Activate Group’s approved network of more than 240 repair partners across the UK.

The Tunbridge Wells garage is equipped to service a range of vehicles, including electric and hybrid models, while the Bristol site is “ideally positioned to serve customers in the region”, Activate Group said.

Wilcox added: “We’re thrilled to welcome the skilled teams at Tunbridge Wells and Bristol into the Activate family and to build on their existing strengths, enhancing each site to reflect the high standards our customers expect from Activate Accident Repair.”
