Many garages are going to extraordinary lengths so that they can help keep key workers mobile in this crisis and one mechanic in Glasgow has certainly stepped up. He is sleeping in campervan at his premises so he can continue to service the vehicles of key workers, while also not putting his family at risk.

Alan Knox of Knox Brothers Garage has sent his staff home to stay safe, but has remained on site to provide an emergency service. He sees this as key as the garage is located next to Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride and he counts many frontline workers as customers.

He told BBC Scotland, “I felt it was right to send the staff home, but we’ve got a lot of doctors and nurses’ cars booked in already so I will work through those jobs myself. I’ve also got a lot of retired medics who use the garage and they’re getting called up too.” He added, “Given we’re so close to the hospital, I thought it was important we tried and stayed open given the uncertainty for everyone on the frontline.”
