Seafield Coachworks’ boss Bill Neish said he is so impressed with the business that he has agreed to use his industry contacts to help the Peebles-based company expand its new franchise format across the UK.
And as chairman of the Vehicle Builders & Repairers Association (VBRA), Neish told The Scotsman he is planning to use his influence in the industry to help the company: "[Since joining] we’ve never looked back. I’m delighted to help him by spreading the word through the VBRA.
Welch said that by creating a network of franchisees among existing businesses, Blackcircles.com was aiming to capture a £100 million share of the UK tyre retail market.
