The RMI's independent garage and bodyshop director Bob Hood has resigned with immediate effect.

Matthew Carrington, RMI chief executive says: “We are sorry to lose Bob, but we wish him well in his future career. The RMI will now actively seek a replacement with specialist knowledge and experience in both the bodyshop and independent garage sectors. This will be in line with the developments taking place both within the RMI and the motor industry as a whole.”
