Artura's New Chapter: Stronger Ownership, Same Commitment

At Artura, we've always been committed to providing outstanding service to our partners and customers across the automotive repair sector. Today, we're excited to share news about new ownership that will significantly strengthen our position and expand the solutions we offer.

A Strategic Acquisition for Growth

Like many businesses in our field, we recently encountered challenges due to forces beyond our control. Rather than letting these setbacks define us, we made the strategic decision to bring in new ownership through administration - ensuring continuity of service while securing our future.

We're proud to announce that Kyle and Mike Harris of Auto Logistic Solutions (ALS) have acquired the business and are now co-owners of what is now Artura Solutions Limited. This represents a perfect alignment of values - we all believe in putting the client at the centre of everything we do and maintaining the highest standards that our sector demands.

Why This Ownership Change Makes Sense

Kyle brings years of invaluable knowledge in the automotive field, having built ALS into a very well-established and respected credit hire company of over 15 years. Their track record speaks for itself, and their approach to business perfectly complements our own dedication to excellence.

Most importantly, this wasn't just about finding new owners - it was about finding the right owners. Kyle and Mike's philosophy is completely aligned with ours, sharing our belief that outstanding client care should be at the heart of everything we do. Their proven success in building and sustaining relationships in our market made them the natural choice for Artura's future.

Kyle Harris, new co-owner said: "I was approached by AH and PG to look at a way to maintain the good work that Artura were doing. It was clear to me the financial impact of the peripheral companies was impossible to overcome in its present form. However I recognised that there was still true value in Artura, and its services it offered to work providers and the network of vehicle repairers.

Our main goal is to re-establish the faith and confidence in the Artura brand, ensuring that there is NO IMPACT financially upon the Artura repair network."

Paul Goddard, Co-founder, comments: "When we faced challenges earlier this year, I knew we needed partners who shared our values and commitment to excellence. Kyle and Mike Harris bring not just financial strength, but decades of industry knowledge and a client-first approach that mirrors our own. This isn't about selling out or stepping back - it's about joining forces with the right people to build something stronger. I'm excited to continue working alongside them to deliver even better outcomes for our repair network partners."

Management Structure Moving Forward

Co-founder Paul Goddard will continue to oversee the company as a whole alongside Kyle and Mike Harris (father and son), ensuring continuity of leadership and maintaining the relationships that have made Artura successful. Meanwhile, co-founder Anthony Heard will be taking a step back from day-to-day operations but will continue to promote Artura and build relationships across the sector, leveraging his extensive network and knowledge.

Same Artura - Enhanced Capabilities

For our partners, customers, and the wider community, we remain Artura with the same team, same dedication to excellence, and same commitment to quality you've come to expect. What changes is our ability to deliver even more value:

• Immediate financial stability through seasoned ownership with deep sector knowledge

• New service offerings in credit hire and repair that complement our existing solutions

• Stronger negotiating position with suppliers and clients, benefiting our entire network

• Improved commission opportunities for our repair partners through expanded options

  
  

Looking Forward

This ownership change positions Artura perfectly for the challenges and opportunities ahead. We're not just navigating the bump in the road we hit - we're using it as a springboard to become more robust, more capable, and better positioned to serve our partners than ever before.

The integration of Kyle and Mike's credit hire knowledge opens exciting new opportunities for our repair network associates, potentially offering more competitive commission structures and expanded service options.

Here to Stay - Stronger Than Ever

Let us be absolutely clear: Artura is here to stay. This new ownership ensures our long-term stability and growth, allowing us to continue serving the automotive repair sector with the dedication and professionalism you've come to rely on, plus significant additional resources.

We want to thank all our partners, customers, and colleagues for their continued support during this transition. Your loyalty and understanding mean everything to us, and we're excited to demonstrate how this new ownership will benefit everyone in our network.

We look forward to sharing more details about our expanded solutions in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss how these developments might benefit your business.

As always "Setting the Standard
