Repairing vehicles since 1966 - trusted by the UK’s biggest brands
Date: 1st January 2020
2020 is set to be a big year for BP Rolls Group, as we embark on the next steps to expand the business. Since the company was founded in 1966 by Brian Rolls, it has expanded significantly since its humble beginnings in his back garden workshop.
Now in our 54th year, we are proud to remain a privately owned family run business, with Brian and Sanchia on the board of Directors, and son David at the helm as Managing Director.
We are well known in our field as one of the largest businesses of it’s kind in the South. Our headquarters in Andover, Hampshire is conveniently located on the West Portway Industrial Estate, with excellent connections to the A303, M3, M4 and M27 meaning we can accommodate customers from a wide area.
Further afield in Newport, Wales, we have a commercial vehicle depot, headed up by Director Paul Thomas, and our Signs and Graphics business, run by Director Gareth Price, has a second fitting facility, located within Paneltex in Hull along with a national team of fitters.
In Andover our Automotive Service Centre has grown substantially since it’s launch in 2016 and we have expanded our offering to fleet clients with the addition of three mobile support technicians covering Hampshire, Wiltshire and West Sussex.
Across the board we are affiliated to a number of professional bodies and we are regularly audited by the likes of BSI, Volkswagen Audi Group, RAC, and Trust My Garage, as well as the insurance providers we supply, meaning we have have to consistently deliver a high level of standard in workmanship, efficiency and service.
As a family run business, we value all our employees and appreciate that all our employees plays their part delivering first class results and maintaining our customer satisfaction. BP Rolls are proud to have a high staff retention rate. We have a number of employees who have completed more than 10 years service and some who have been with us for 20 or 30 years! Good working conditions and competitive rates of pay along with opportunities for professional development mean loyal staff who enjoy their jobs and continue to provide the level of quality and customer service we are committed to delivering.
Skilled and knowledgeable staff are the lifeblood of any business and 2020 will see us continue to develop our professional development programme, ensuring appropriate training and accreditation for any employee that needs it. IMI (ATA) accreditation, Audatex Certification, Hybrid and Electric Vehicles remain priorities. Apprentices are also essential for the future sustainability of our business so we are looking to improve our internal apprenticeship programme and are actively looking for new recruits in both Andover and Newport.

2020 will see the addition of three more mobile technicians, extending our area of coverage to North Hampshire, Dorset, Wales and the West Country. With our own fleet of six fully equipped support vans, complete with impressed stock and digital technology, our mobile technicians are able to work quickly and efficiently on client vehicles onsite as needed, reducing VOR and increasing uptime.
