About Christopher Thornton
Proficient knowledge of building, restructuring and organising a vehicle repair business together with the necessary employment of professional support staff.Able to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines independently.Being a highly analytical thinker I am able to quickly identify, scrutinise, improve, and streamline complex work processes.Key Achievements: As part of an international expansion programme, 355 Automoviles Ventas SL opened in Spain under (Christopher Thornton) sole control and directorship to establish a representation of the business and quality of repair that it enjoyed in the United Kingdom. Within 3 years of becoming the most prestigious vehicle repair facility on the Costa del Sol, the company was approached by two of the largest ex-patriate insurance organisations in Gibraltar. Eventually, the company became the largest insurance (approved) vehicle body shop in Spain, creating a turnover in excess of €1,500,000 per annum. Ultimately, 50% of the business was sold to a local entrepreneur as I wished to diversify into other auto interests. I then bought a ‘Chips Away’ franchise that I then sold on for a profit.After an opportunity to buy a small vehicle repair business in Alfold Surrey . We have turned it into a high quality business working on the most exquisite vehicles in the world .
