EAC Telford has announced its expansion with the launch of a new site in Hortonwood, Telford, including a £85,000 investment in new equipment and technology, alongside the creation of seven new jobs.
The New Branch
The new Hortonwood branch is part of a long-term strategy to bring EAC’s services to more communities across Telford. With a centralised booking system, enhanced workshop capability, and £85,000 invested in new equipment and technology, the site embodies the business’s commitment to customer experience and operational efficiency.
The opening marks the fourth site for EAC Telford – a member of the Point S UK network – and follows a win at the Automechanika Birmingham Garage Awards 2025, where EAC was named Multi-site Garage of the Year. “We’ve worked hard to build trust with our customers, so to receive that recognition directly from them was a real honour,” says Mark Kettle, Director at EAC Telford.
“We’ve employed seven new staff across the business to support the new site, including experienced technicians and a new managing director,” Mark adds. “This is more than a business expansion – it’s a commitment to the area and growing sustainably while keeping service standards high,” says Mark. “We’re investing in people, in service, and in the future of the region.”
As a member of the Point S UK network – which now includes more than 340 independent centres – EAC benefits from access to industry-leading support, training, and marketing. The Hortonwood site features updated Point S signage as part of a wider visual refresh, giving customers a unified experience across all locations.
“The Point S brand has helped us sharpen our image – the network is changing the industry and has got some incredible businesses on board,” Mark said. “Our customers are constantly talking to us about Point S, which is a testament to the growth that the network has experienced in recent years. For us, what matters most is what’s behind the signage: a family-run service our customers can rely on. We’re proud of what we’ve built – and we’re not done yet.”
