FORD-BACKED QUICK LANE OPENS THIRD BRANCH

A third branch of Quick Lane has opened in Bracknell. The opening follows on from branches in Prestwich and Reading which opened earlier in 2019.

The autocentre is owned by Ford and has around 1,000 branches around the world and the UK model is based on a hard franchise

The 7,527 sq ft. site was previously a branch of trade counter Yesss Electical. Now retooled as an autocentre, it is operated by the same franchisee as the Reading branch.

John Dines, UK Operations Director for Quick Lane, said: “Quick Lane Bracknell is ideally situated to deliver convenient automotive servicing and maintenance that fits around the busy lives of local people, giving them back the one thing they value most – time.”

Quick Lane continues to invest heavily in its franchise network across Europe. Its Reading location recently invested £40k into new MOT equipment and the business has plans to further expand its network in the UK and Germany in the coming months.
