Activate Accident Repair has reached the next milestone in its expansion, with the opening of a new bodyshop in Nottingham. The launch comes in response to significant growth in customer demand, particularly from fleet clients, and will help service the increased volume of vehicles requiring repair.
The 25,500 ft² state-of-the-art site began completing repairs on 17th October, further strengthening the company’s capacity to meet demand for high-quality car and commercial vehicle (CV) repairs.
About Activate Group’s Nottingham bodyshop
Equipped with the latest technology, the Nottingham centre is designed to handle Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and electric vehicle (EV) repairs. Purpose-built with specialist equipment, the site is also capable of accommodating repairs for specialist commercial vehicles.
The facility reflects Activate Group’s strong commitment to sustainability, featuring heat recycling ovens to reduce energy consumption, and waste management tools, including a can crusher and bailer, to minimise environmental impact.
Darren Norman, who joined the business in August, will lead the Nottingham centre as Bodyshop Manager. With extensive experience in vehicle repair management, Darren has assembled a skilled, experienced team to ensure high standards of service and operational excellence from day one.
