FMG has strengthened its network with more than 100 additional repairer relationships to maximise vehicle repair capacity and capability across its UK-wide repairer network.

Work has been ongoing for the past 12 months to add the new repairers, with FMG also recruiting additional network managers across the UK.

These additions come as the vehicle repair industry faces significant pressure, with demand for repairs outstripping capacity in many parts of the country.

FMG’s new and existing repairers are fully equipped with the latest technology, including the ability to repair structural composite materials, hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs).

John Keeton, operations director at FMG, said: “As the repair market diversifies, these additions to our repairer network are part of our strategic plan to ensure FMG provides a robust, sustainable and scalable best-in-class repairer network for the future, whilst meeting our own demands following recent growth.

“We are proud to work in partnership with some of the UK’s best repairers and we rely upon them to expertly provide the most tangible aspect of our service to our customers.

“With this in mind, we work hard to build supportive, trusting and mutually beneficial relationships with our repairers and have aligned a number of our business processes and technology platforms with theirs to ensure seamless, effective and frictionless ways of working.”

FMG provides end to end incident management solutions and manages repairs through its blended repairer network made up off 60 repair bodyshops owned by its sister company FMG Repair Services and over 250 managed independent repairers.
