The Vella Group acquires Leominster ARC

16th January 2020

The Vella Group has acquired Leominster Accident Repair Centre based in north Herefordshire.

Leominster ARC is a well-established and successful repairer, with a great reputation for customer service. The site is strategically placed to service customers and expands The Vella Group’s footprint further south.

Marc Holding, The Vella Group managing director and keynote interviewee at the forthcoming ARC360 event on 18 March 2020, commented, ‘Leominster ARC is a great addition to the group with a highly skilled workforce and an approach that makes them a solid cultural fit. Mark, Jackie and the team have built a great business and I am very pleased to welcome all of the staff at the site to the Vella family’.

Marc added, ‘2020 is already looking like an exciting year for The Vella Group, and this acquisition is the second phase in our current growth plan after the addition of our sixth site in October.

‘Building work and equipment installation got underway on repair centre number eight this week, which is due to open in March, with more to come from us later in the year. The rate of change in the industry has never been quicker, and we work diligently to ensure we balance our growth with continuing the ongoing investment in our current teams and locations.’

Marc continued, ‘We strive to be a positive and transparent partner to our customers and look forward to bringing our long-standing reputation for credibility, trust and industry expertise to a wider geography’.
