Motofix group chief executive Richard Tutt said: "We are delighted to be back on the acquisition trail after a period of consolidation, which shows we are serious about our expansion plans. This new site is our first in the South West Region, which is a key area of growth and opportunity for the group. We expect to be announcing more acquisitions in this region over the coming months.”

Andrew Symms, who will stay on to run the business along with all existing employees, said: “I am delighted to join the team at Motofix and see a secure future for both the business and employees. The existing business has a good reputation and the Motofix brand will take this to another level. We are all very excited about the future.”
