Employer Description:Fix Auto Penzance, the southern-most repair centre in England, has been an integral element behind the constant success of the Fix Auto UK network we celebrate today since joining in early 2012.
Founded by local businessman Stuart Cameron, while he is still very much hands on, the site is managed by his son, Joel. Spread over three inter-connected buildings which have been developed as the company has expanded over the years, Fix Auto Penzance has numerous industry awards to its credit.
Crucially, Stuart and his team have championed various projects and investments to ensure it is as eco-friendly as possible. Having been an early adopter of solar power, for example, Fix Auto Penzance is as ‘green’ a repair centre as possible. It was one of the first bodyshops in the country to gain the hugely creditable PAS 2060 certification, awarded to those repairers who achieve a carbon neutral operating status. In 2023, EV car charging powerpoints including a fast-charging unit were installed and made available for public use.
Situated a short drive from the centre of Penzance, the bodyshop is easily accessible within the Rospeath Industrial Estate found off the main A30 road.
