Ats Euromaster set to close, more than 700 jobs at risk as 86 sites shut

ats euromaster is set to close, putting more than 700 jobs at risk and shutting 86 sites across the network. The winding down will also see parts of the estate passed on to rival operators.

Ats Euromaster centres split between Formula One Autocentres and Elite Garages

Thirty-five centres will transfer to Formula One Autocentres and a further 14 centres will go to Elite Garages, leaving the remainder of the 86 affected sites closed. The handovers total 49 centres — the specific list of those locations has been identified in the notices that accompanied the closure plans.

Staff impact: more than 700 roles affected

The closure puts more than 700 jobs at risk across the business, with staff at the 86 sites facing redundancies or transfer depending on whether their centre is one of the 35 moving to Formula One Autocentres or the 14 moving to Elite Garages. That figure encompasses both confirmed transfers and roles expected to be lost as sites close.

What customers and local centres will see

Customers at centres earmarked for transfer will find 35 locations rebranded under Formula One Autocentres and 14 under Elite Garages, while the other outlets among the 86 sites will cease operating. The change affects the footprint of the chain across its network, with the transfers covering a sizeable portion of the centres named for handover.

The company’s planned closure, the scale of staff impact and the allocation of centres to Formula One Autocentres and Elite Garages are the confirmed details released about the shutdown. ats euromaster’s closure will therefore result in both site consolidations and a significant jobs reduction tied specifically to the 86-site outcome.

Next steps confirmed in the closure plan include the transfer of 35 centres to Formula One Autocentres and 14 centres to Elite Garages; those moves are the immediate actions set out for affected locations as the wider shutdown proceeds.
