Lant Lane Ltd

In 1976, Neil started up in business doing Garage Repairs and Sandblasting Services on a very small scale in his spare time and at nights, being first and foremost a farmer with his father Rex.

His sons, however, didn't have a desire to carry on with the farming, they had far more interest in the Garage side of the business, and Mathew and Colin joined Neil when they left school, and the steadily growing concern then became Neil Maycock and Sons, whilst his eldest son Philip ran his own Body shop concurrently for ten years before deciding to amalgamate the two businesses, so achieving a Company that caters for the customer's every motoring need under one roof, in addition to the Sandblasting and Commercial refinishing side of the business.

They formed a limited company three years ago, having for many years been known as Neil Maycock & Sons, they now have four Directors, namely Neil, Philip, Colin & Mathew Maycock.

Neil still overlooks most of the Garage work personally, whilst Colin undertakes most of the Sandblasting work, both here on site and out on the road. Both are ably assisted by experienced staff, thus enabling us to provide a reliable service to our customers.

Mathew now manages the Body shop, making sure that the work is completed to a very high standard whilst working hands on with his team of staff.

Philip now concerns himself with the day to day running of the business, booking in work for all the departments, liaising when necessary with customers, either here on site or visiting Companies to advise them on their requirements.

Since we became a Limited Company in April 2004, our first aim has been to improve all our working premises, introducing low-bake painting facilities in our Commercial Department and to up date all Body Shop equipment and our Spray Booth. All buildings had to be insulated and heated.

We firmly believe that we are operating in very volatile markets, the Automotive Industry being no exception and that to maintain our growth and foothold within the market place, we have to invest heavily in quality personnel and equipment that makes our business efficient and maintains our growth in these ever changing markets.
