Servicesure tackles industry talent shortage

By autotech-nic on February 6, 2026

The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) warns the sector will need over 160,000 new skilled workers by 2031, with technician shortages already restricting workshop capacity and growth. To tackle this, Servicesure has partnered with Swipe Right Recruitment and Motiva Recruitment Group, giving members access to both permanent recruitment and temporary staffing solutions.

Motiva Recruitment Group gives members fast access to experienced, pre-vetted technicians and MOT testers when short-term cover is required. This ensures garages can maintain workflow and customer service during periods of peak demand or unexpected staffing gaps.

“Temporary cover shouldn’t be a last-minute scramble,” said David Stow, Managing Director of Motiva recruitment group. “Servicesure members now have fast, reliable access to skilled technicians exactly when they need them.”

Adam O’Neill from Servicesure added: “The partnership is now available to Servicesure members and forms part of the network’s ongoing commitment to supporting garages with practical, industry-specific solutions that help them operate efficiently and grow sustainably.”
