UK garage chain with North East branches closing down as 700 jobs at riskATS Euromaster, a garage specialising in tyres, is starting to wind down its UK operations after a long period of cost-cutting. The company said it's pursuing two buyers that have shown interest in taking over parts of the network. ATS Euromaster has confirmed it will withdraw from the UK market after unveiling proposals to shut 86 of its least commercially successful service centres throughout 2025. The transactions would nevertheless place 703 positions in jeopardy of redundancy throughout its headquarters in Aston, contact centre, and the outstanding 103 branches. ATS Euromaster confirmed that a comprehensive support package will be arranged for employees, incorporating a 24-hour assistance helpline and professional career transition services.
