A day of celebrations were held recently for staff at Pro-Align at the company HQ in  Towcester, UK, to mark its 25th anniversary.

The day began with the unveiling of a new slate sign outside the company’s offices with further presentations throughout the day, including the gift of a 25th anniversary decanter and 1991 bottle of vintage port for each member of staff, to mark their contribution to the firm’s growth and success.

Retaining the nostalgic theme, Pro-Align’s aftersales team even recommissioned one of the first wheel alignment systems that the company ever sold back in 1991.

Paul Beaurain, managing director, Pro-Align said, “From small beginnings in 1991 with just five employees, we entered an aftermarket not only in recession, but at a time where four wheel alignment was a ‘dust-gathering’ and forgotten service. Starting out was certainly a challenge that we relished! However, having spent 25 years promoting wheel alignment through education, to the trade and motorists alike, it’s gratifying to see how drivers are now asking for Hunter wheel alignment servicing and how workshops are embracing the business opportunities available. We’re delighted to have been instrumental in that journey and now our team of more than 60 people remain as keen as ever to help workshops of the future continue making the most of the complete wheel servicing opportunities on offer.”

Today, Pro-Align has grown to be one of the most recognisable and respected names in the aftermarket with its Hunter systems being used by most major vehicle manufacturers, franchise dealerships, independent workshops, tyre shops and bodyshops. In line with its ethos of education, the firm’s systems are even used by many further education colleges and the company has played an active role in the Skills Show since 2012
