My role
I work as a Vehicle Damage Assessor at the Leeds Activate Accident Repair centre and have done since we opened back in October 2020.
Career Development
I started within the vehicle repair industry as a panel technician, which I did for 12 years. Since then, I’ve worked my way up and now use that knowledge and experience to estimate the damage to vehicles and the repair that will be required.
What makes Activate Group special?
To me, it’s the team who I value. It’s easy to show up and do a good job when you know you have a decent team to work with. Everyone gets along great, everyone’s friendly.
