Mark R | Workshop Controller at CARS of Grimsby


I recently joined CARS as Workshop Controller. My aim is to ensure that the team works cohesively and efficiently, whilst also making work a happy place to be.


I have many years’ experience in the motor industry, across different elements, including an abrasive manufacturer, body shop distribution and more.


When I’m not at work, you’ll find me playing golf, snooker, pool or enjoying family time with my Wife and three children.
