We’re pleased to welcome Rye Street Group, a highly successful and well renowned accident repair business to Steer Automotive Group. Rye Street Group, operating since 1990, manages a network of seven repair centres and holds 23 manufacturer approvals and 24 insurer approvals, making it a trusted name in the industry.
This strategic geographical acquisition underscores our ongoing commitment to expanding our service capabilities, enhancing customer experience, and solidifying our reputation for excellence in the automotive repair sector.
Both Managing Directors, Bill Duffy and Lee McNaughton will be exiting the business as part of this transition. Nick Ferris and the senior management team will remain with Rye Street, ensuring continuity and stability during this period. This will allow the team to continue delivering the high standards of service that Rye Street is known for, while benefiting from the additional resources and expertise that the group brings.
Our Chief Executive, Richard Steer, commented, "We are very pleased to welcome Rye Street Group into the Steer family. This acquisition is a strategic step towards our vision of providing unmatched automotive repair services across the UK. We are particularly excited to welcome our new colleagues, whose expertise and dedication have laid a strong foundation that we are eager to build upon. Together, we will deliver even greater value to our customers and partners, driving forward our commitment to excellence in everything we do."
