Founded in 1972 by David Payne, along with his wife Ann and son Chris, the business began in modest rented premises in Wrotham, Kent, supported by a dedicated team of four skilled staff.

Quickly earning a reputation for high-quality bodywork repairs—particularly for refrigerated vehicles—the company experienced steady growth. In 1980, it relocated to its current freehold site in Aylesford, Kent, and continued to thrive, acquiring the adjacent property in 1990 to accommodate expansion.

Today, the company operates on a 1.5-acre site, with ongoing investments in its workshops, spray booths, and facilities to support its commitment to excellence.

From inception the Company has repaired insulated / refrigerated vehicles.

Here is an early example of our work at our first site in Wrotham.
