With Derick’s departure to start up Modern Air in September 1990, his self-fly rental and flying school at Fowlmere, younger brother Colin took over the running of the garage before buying the business from Derick in 2001.  Now trading under the Colin Gunning Limited name, the air-cooled business has virtually disappeared and evolved into a garage servicing and repairing a diverse range of modern computer packed cars and light vans.

Colin has struggled to manage the garage on his own since November 2016.  With the new addition of Rob Hardey joining from a local dealership in May 2018, Colin Gunning Ltd can now press on with a much brighter outlook for the future.

Rob achieved Master Technician status at Ware Garages, the Renault dealership. He has come from Gates of Hertford the Ford dealers with a stint at Motor Repairs Hertford in between.  It was at MRH that Rob rebuilt two cars for the Channel 4 series For The Love Of Cars.  So, Rob brings a wealth of talent and experience across a wide range of vehicle’s and an obvious enthusiasm about the challenges facing a modern garage.

Kirsty Gunning is a Company Director and wife of Colin for nearly 30 years. Kirsty runs the admin side of things including ensuring suppliers and employees are paid on time.

Colin and Rob are looking forward to servicing, repairing and preparing your cars for MOT in the coming years.  Whether it’s a new Volkswagen or a cherished older car, just call to make a booking.
