On the road 45 www.aftermarketonline.net MARCH 2025 “We are delighted to see it open this new IMI-approved centre in Chester, providing technicians in the north with easy access to accreditation facilities so that they can continue to give their customers confidence in the quality of their work. Revive! is a great example of the success that can be achieved when investing in workforce talent.” The Chester milestone comes shortly after Revive! opened for business in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft under franchise owner there Liz Pither. “We are already working with some of the prestigious local dealerships and we look forward to expanding our operations throughout the area,” Pither said. Revive! now has close to 60 franchisees across the country and more than 250 IMI accredited technicians Last January, Revive! reported a fifth consecutive year of growth, highlighting £26.5m in network sales in 2025, an increase of 10% year-on-year. Specialising in high quality mobile repairs for vehicle bodywork and alloy wheels, Revive! provides a national service to car dealerships, insurance providers, fleet operators and private retail customers. Just two years ago, the network was named the British Franchise Association’s HSBC Franchisor of the Year. Mark Llewellyn, sales and marketing MD, said then: “We successfully pivoted in the changing marketplace, recognising the dramatic increase in cosmetic maintenance plans. This saw us effectively support our insurance clients and saw our insurance repair work more than double in 2025 as a result.” Having opened eight new franchises and recruited over 50 new technicians to its network in 2025, Llewellyn said Revive! continues to invest in advancing their tech division, having injected more than £2.5 million in team training, vehicles, equipment and supplies over the past 12 months alone. “Our objective is to double in size over the next four years.” The Revive! group celebrates business growth Liz Pither looks to further expansion for Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft
