Autotech Recruit has been recognised by Motor Trader as the Recruitment Agency of the Year at the Motor Trader Industry Awards.
Winning the Recruitment Agency of the Year award in Motor Trader’s prestigious awards, which recognise all that is best in modern motor retailing, holds particular significance for Autotech Recruit, as the company celebrates its ten year milestone birthday in December.
Launched in 2010 to fill a gap in the automotive aftermarket for temporary vehicle technicians and MOT testers, Autotech Recruit’s unwavering commitment to the motor trade has led to considerable growth and success.
In the intervening decade, Autotech Recruit has educated the industry on the advantages of using contractors to counteract gaps in labour, highlighting the lost revenue opportunities, and creating customised solutions to meet resource needs head on.

Gavin White, CEO of The Autotech Group said: “Winning the Recruitment Agency of the Year award has been a long term ambition of the company and we see this as a great achievement.
“This award not only acknowledges the culmination of our commitment to creating solutions for the industry, but recognises the determination of our team, and the highly skilled contractors who are filling positions in garages across the UK on a daily basis.”
It also reflects our commitment to the industry, helping to plug the skills gap, while providing essential training and direction to ensure both our contractors and clients alike have the necessary skills to equip them in the ever changing landscape of the motor trade.”
The judging panel of the Motor Trader Industry Awards noted the valuable service provided by Autotech Recruit in supplying temporary vehicle technicians and MOT testers for short and mid-term placements.
It also noted the growing proportion of longer-term contracts, an indication of the quality of the contractors.
The panel commented favourably on the ongoing training of Autotech Recruit’s contractors and the positive partnerships the company had with car makers.
The judges also mentioned the scale of the network with 450 technicians and MOT testers, and the robust screening process.
