“Our 40th anniversary is a big milestone for the company. Over the past four decades, we have seen vast changes in the industry and the way in which the business has needed to evolve.

"We are fortunate to have a talented team at Autocraft Telford who continue to take our business forward and ensure we deliver the best service to our customers. This
