The Wheel Specialist is getting ready to open its doors at the Felbridge Business Centre next week.
The Wheel Specialist, the largest nationwide wheel refurbishment specialists, are opening the new franchise in East Grinstead on 23rd January 2012.
The franchise was recently purchased by Alex May, a former Wealth Management Advisor previously based in London who underwent an extensive training programme before taking the helm at the new East Grinstead branch.
Alex said: “I’ve always really wanted to run my own business, and without any sensible ideas of my own I looked at a variety of local businesses for sale and national franchise opportunities.
“During this time I took my car to The Wheel Specialist in Fareham to have the wheels refurbished and I was very impressed by the great service and speed of the refurbishment.
“I have a strong interest in cars and a background in marketing, business and financial services, so opening my own branch of The Wheel Specialist seemed like a natural fit for my skills.”
Alex says his aims are to build a business that generates a strong reputation for producing high quality workmanship and for customers to know that their car and wheels are in safe hands.
Ginny Murphy, Managing Director for The Wheel Specialist Network, added: “We are thrilled that Alex has joined the team at The Wheel Specialist.
“We’ve built our franchises on excellent customer service and care, and Alex has exactly the same ethos. We’re looking forward to the store opening and know Alex will do a great job.”
The Wheel Specialist offers a large range of services including total refurbishment of the whole wheel, as well as smart repair, diamond cutting, rim polishing and bespoke customisation of wheels.
The firm also provide a same day service on many finishes, and all branches have secure, fully insured units with state of the-art-showrooms.
