AutoRaise is proud to announce S&G Response as the latest business to invest in the future of the UK’s vehicle repair industry. This exciting partnership strengthens AutoRaise’s mission to increase apprenticeship opportunities and support bodyshops in bringing new talent into the sector.
Following our Power Panel Round Table event at Oulton Park on 12th February, Andy Whatmough, Managing Director of S&G Response, confirmed the company’s commitment to supporting AutoRaise.
Andy commented: “At S&G Response, we recognise that the future of our industry depends on investing in the next generation of skilled professionals. AutoRaise is leading the way in making apprenticeships more accessible and sustainable for repairers, and we are proud to support their mission. After attending the Oulton Park Power Panel event, it was clear that real collaboration is needed to tackle the skills shortage, and we’re excited to play our part. By working together, we can ensure that apprenticeships remain a viable and attractive career pathway for young people while strengthening the long-term future of the sector.”
As part of its relaunch and renewed focus for 2025, AutoRaise is committed to continuously enhancing its digital toolkits – a vital resource for repairers looking to take on apprentices. With S&G Response’s proven success in running their own apprentice programme, this partnership brings valuable insights that will further strengthen the support we provide to repairers navigating the apprenticeship process.
Emma Speed, Managing Director of AutoRaise, said:
“We’re thrilled to have S&G Response on board as an investor. Their hands-on experience with apprenticeships offers a fresh perspective, and we’re excited to work together to shape the future of training in our sector. Partnerships like this are key to ensuring that repairers have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take on apprentices and secure the future of our industry.”
The AutoRaise team and Trustee Board extend their gratitude to Andy Whatmough and the S&G Response Board for their commitment to driving change. We look forward to working closely with the wider S&G business to inspire, educate, and support the next generation of skilled technicians.
