A GARAGE has attracted a third motor industry expert to its team.

Steve Morrison, 33, from Houghton-le-Spring, has joined Mill Audi in Sunderland as a technician.

He has been reunited with two former colleagues - service manager John Smiles and workshop foreman Ernie Potts - bringing a combined total of more than 60 years of expertise to the branch.

Mr Morrison said: "I am thrilled to be working for Mill Audi.

"I have built up several years' experience as a technician with my former employer, and I have always wanted to work with the Audi marque.

"Both John and Ernie spoke very highly of Mill Audi, and as soon as I joined the company myself, I knew that I had made the right move, having already completed the initial Audi training - one of the most comprehensive and sought after technical training programmes in the UK motor industry today."

Steve Barron, general manager at Mill Audi Sunderland, said: "We are delighted to welcome Steve to the team here in Sunderland."
