A1 ADAS Group steers growth with takeover

An automotive diagnostics company has expanded with a takeover.

A1 ADAS Group, headquartered in Norwich, has acquired Worcestershire-based Autocalibration Ltd, a mobile ADAS calibration and vehicle diagnostics business. 

Bosses say the deal marks “a significant step” in strengthening A1 ADAS Group’s position in the independent automotive sector, enhancing its nationwide ADAS and diagnostic services. 

As part of the deal, Autocalibration will retain its brand and staff, with founder Gavin Jenks stepping into a regional director role.

Iain Molloy, founder and managing director of A1 ADAS Group, said: “Autocalibration is a successful mobile ADAS calibration company with an excellent reputation.

“As well as the business being a natural geographical fit for us, Gavin and his team’s values are completely aligned with those of the A1 ADAS Group.”

Gavin added: “What Iain, Helen and Adam have built and created to date with the A1 brand is both impressive and inspiring. 

“I share their ambition and trust them implicitly.

“I’m very protective of Autocalibration’s staff and customers, so was mindful this had to be a good move for them too - and it is.”

A1 ADAS Group was advised by Norwich-based Ashtons Legal and GLX Advisory.
