HelloWelcome to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Garage</strong><br />
Welcome to the latest <strong>Garage</strong> magazine, our<br />
last of the year.<br />
Congratulations must first go to Scottish garage,<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Garage</strong> (Whitburn), for their overall winner in<br />
the <strong>Garage</strong> Star Awards organised by <strong>The</strong> Motor<br />
Ombudsman. <strong>The</strong> judges, including our own<br />
Publication Manager Ben Coates, commended<br />
them for not only their overall performance but<br />
also their work in the community, well done to<br />
them and all the award winners.<br />
Happy golden anniversary to JHM Butt and<br />
Company who are celebrating 50 years of trading<br />
this year. What’s the secret of their success? Turn<br />
to page 6 where we have had a chat with the<br />
directors of this family run business.<br />
We also have a fantastic prize for you in this<br />
issue. <strong>The</strong> real star of the James Bond films, the<br />
DB5, has just had a beautiful coffee table book<br />
produced in its honour, featuring it’s history,<br />
statistics and plenty of spectacular images. All the<br />
details are on page 11.<br />
Finally, can I raise a vodka Martini, shaken – not<br />
stirred, to wish you a happy and healthy Christmas<br />
and New year, thank you all for your support in<br />
2021, we’re looking forward to seeing you again in<br />
2022.<br />
