Their Story

Established over 25 years ago, ABL started as a family-owned accident repair business reaching 4 sites in 2011. In 2015 the 1 Touch Repair Group was created to offer an alternate solution to the industry, moving away from large sites, incorporating the ‘repair over replace’ ethos that was at the heart of ABL, providing innovative, technical centers to attract the leading talent in the industry.

This grew quickly from 2 sites in 2015 to 9 sites by the end of 2020. At the end of 2020, backed by Private Equity investment, ABL and 1 Touch Repair finally became ABL 1 Touch. Now in 2023 they have 23 sites with further plans for growth over the coming years.

ABL 1 Touch takes pride in providing industry leading customer journeys by ensuring we promote a culture throughout the business that attracts and retains the best talent.

Their Values

At ABL 1 Touch, they take great pride in their company values, and incorporate them into everything they do. Their values were rebranded four years ago, as part of a wider project where a culture team was put together to look at how the working environment could be improved for employees.

It was important to ensure everyone in the business was aiming for the same goal, therefore the culture team engaged with all employees with surveys and focus groups to find out their honest views of the business. As part of the work, adjectives were taken from employee submissions that described their feelings towards the company and from this emerged three words which became our company values, evolving completely from our employees, which are engrained into the business and shapes everything that they do on a daily basis.

Innovate: Lead the way

Responsible: Take ownership

This apprenticeship programme is an excellent way of ensuring they have high-quality people working within their growing business.
