About us
I then took over MJ Auto's (MOT's and servicing). This business was very enjoyable but it wasn't really for me. Then, one Sunday in1996ish while I was at the garage waiting for a customer to arrive for one of my sales cars, I was flicking through the Autoexpress and noticed an advert for a window film company advertising for tinting installers. I called them up and enrolled on the course in Southampton . Once I had completed the course I started to tint my own cars and friends cars just to get a bit of practice in. I then went to America for 3 weeks and on my return there was a list of people who wanted their cars, vans and trucks tinted. I had to do the window tinting in the evening and weekends as I couldn't tint and run the garage at the same time. I did try, but too many interruptions and the dust made a good tint installation impossible. Come August 2001 I couldn't cope and after much sole searching I closed the garage and concentrated on tinting and car sales. 2001 was a very busy winter, and in early 2002, I decided to wind down the car sales to concentrate totally on tinting. I sold RCS tinting in mid 2004 and took 10 months off to go sailing around the world. During this time I achieved my "yacht master" qualification, which was something I had been meaning to do for some time. In early 2005 I decided to set up Ultimate Tinting and have performed window tinting for several main dealers including Citroen, Hyundai, Subaru, Vauxhall, Peugeot, BMW, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Ford to name but a few. I also did work for windscreen companies including A & C windscreens, RAC Auto windscreens and AA windscreens but the majority of my work was, and still is, for the general public from word of mouth - the best recommendation you can get. I moved to Manchester in late 2005 and ran Ultimate Tinting there, passed it onto my good friend Duncan who set up "Solar Guard Tinting" . While there I got married!! My wife and I then moved down to Reading with her work, I open another successful Tint Shop there. This business is due to be passed onto someone else now as we're moving back to North Wales to start a family and I'm opening up in Chester.. I think you see a pattern forming now, I love to build up tinting businesses, and I'm good at it. So late 2006 I started to recruit others to open up " Ultimate Tinting" businesses around the country. Now we have Martin in Cannock, Tony in Oxfordshire and Martin 2 in Bradford. These guys are all excellent and I'm proud to have them aboard.. We have now started an expansion program and are looking to open more workshops all over the UK. Our vision is to provide you with a professional, friendly service that you can really on, simple really. So if you fancy joining our team and would like a natter please don't hesitate to call me for a chat. If I get the time I am hoping to get to some shows this year so if you do see me please don't hesitate to come over for a chat, or please, feel free to phone or call at any of our branches for a chat and a professional window tinting service. |
Ultimate Tinting started life as Ruthin Car Sales of North Wales. After having worked in the car industry for 7 years, I decided to sell cars for myself and the garage went from strength to strength.
