Heritage
We built our reputation the hard way, call-out by call-out, in the all situations, including: motorways at 3am, all weather and situation conditions, live construction sites, and multi-vehicle incidents but to name a few. Our track record even earned us recognition as a previous South East Operator of the Year for the AA.
We hold industry requirements of; ISO 9001, PAS 43, and NHSS 17 & 17B certification, and our operators are IVR-qualified and recognised by our clients including, Highways England and Police Forces across the region. These continuing standards also let us work on live highways schemes and construction sites that some recovery operators are not cleared or certified for. We have membership of AVRO (the Association of Vehicle Recovery Operators) and other leading industry bodies.
Our client base spans clubs and private motorists needing a single breakdown recovered through to multinational fleets running hundreds of vehicles. In between, we support insurance providers, logistics and haulage operators, bus and coach fleets, construction firms working to NHSS site requirements, local authorities, and emergency services, including Essex Police, for whom we are an approved recovery operator.
Our workshops in Upminster, Essex, just a few minutes from the M25/J29, handles everything from cars and vans to light commercial vehicles to 44+ tonne HGVs, with manufacturer-level diagnostics and the recovery equipment to match. Rotator recovery, low-loaders, air cushions, and specialist for tankers, buses, coaches, and plant machinery. Beyond the UK, we run our own European transport network, so vehicle, plant and equipment movements across the continent are handled directly by our own in-house teams.
