A NEW car body repair shop opened its doors to the people of Southwick this month.

Chris Snelgrove opened Wiltshire Auto Refinishers LTD, 25 Dunkirk Business Park, Frome Road, to start a line of work in painting commercial vehicles, alloy wheels, motorbikes and much more.

His wife Sian Snelgrove said: "He has wanted to do this for a long time and his dad will be alongside him and he has more than 30 years worth of experience. It is a very exciting time.

"It has been a steady start and hopefully we can be successful. Chris is following in his dad's footsteps and it is nice they will work together."
