ILC welcomes Gemini ARC as Corporate Partner

9th December 2021

ILC is delighted to announce that Gemini Accident Repair Centres has become its first repairer Corporate Partner. The group also becomes an ARC360 Repairer Associate.

Gemini ARC is the UK’s largest and leading automotive repair business with more than 30 locations from the south coast to Scotland. Since being established in 2008 it had developed a burgeoning reputation for exemplary service to partners and customers alike, while its commitment to upholding and developing skills and standards is just one reason it is trusted by most major vehicle manufacturers and insurers.

However, Gemini is more than just a shining example of an automotive repair organisation. Through crucial partnerships with industry bodies such as AutoRaise and the NBRA – and now ILC – Gemini has committed to proactively supporting the betterment of the wider industry through sharing its own experiences and expertise; addressing the fundamental challenges facing the sector; and working to future-proof the automotive incident repair aftermarket by securing a continued pipeline of future talent.

Mark Hadaway, Managing Director at ILC and Co-founder of ARC360, said, “Success is built on relationships; I have known and respected Dave and the culture he has helped to establish at Gemini for a long time, so welcoming them as an ILC Motor Corporate Partner is a landmark moment for us and emphasises the trust the repair sector has in our own values.

“Despite difficult trading conditions, Gemini has never lost sight of the bigger picture and the fundamental need for the sector to work together in an open and cooperative manner to bring about lasting change. We couldn’t be prouder to announce Gemini as our first repairer Corporate Partner and ARC360 Repairer Associate.”

Dave Sargeant, Managing Director of Gemini ARC, added, “We are delighted to become an ILC Corporate Partner and ARC360 Repairer Associate. In a relatively short space of time the platform has established itself at the heart of the automotive repair market and as a group we share its ambitions to share expertise, insights and experience for the overall betterment of the industry.”

“As a sector we have been through a difficult period, but the challenges remain and only through collaboration can we emerge stronger. That’s what this partnership is about, and we look forward to working closely with Mark and the rest of the ILC team to create a better tomorrow.”
