Driving Growth. Strengthening Capability. Expanding Our Reach.

Martin Williams Hull Ltd is delighted to announce the acquisition of Hogarth Coachworks which includes North East Motorhome Repair Centre, located in Birtley, County Durham, marking an exciting new chapter in the continued growth of our business.

This strategic acquisition significantly enhances our accident repair network, extending our operational coverage from our established. facilities in Hull, throughout the North East Coast, and into Southern Scotland via our Dumfries depot.

For customers, insurance partners and fleet operators, this means greater capacity, enhanced repair capabilities, improved geographical coverage and the same commitment to quality, service and craftsmanship that both businesses have built their reputations upon.

Hogarth Coachworks has earned an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality vehicle accident repairs and exceptional customer service. We are proud to welcome the Hogarth team into the Martin Williams family and look forward to building on their strong heritage and local relationships.

The acquisition represents another important milestone in our long-term growth strategy, reinforcing our position as a leading vehicle accident repair group across the region. By bringing together the expertise, facilities and skilled people from both businesses, we are creating an even stronger network capable of supporting vehicle owners, insurers, fleets and commercial customers more effectively than ever before.

We would also like to wish founder Steve Hogarth a happy retirement and to say it is an honour to carry forward the name and legacy he has left in our hands.

What This Means:

  • Enhanced accident repair capacity across the North of England and Southern Scotland
  • Improved coverage from Hull to the North East and beyond
  • Increased support for insurance and fleet partners
  • Continued investment in people, technology and repair facilities
  • A seamless continuation of the excellent service customers have come to expect

Martin Williams Hull Ltd Operations Director Mark Naylor commented:
