“This all happened within a couple of months. “The first lockdown had quite a few effects as parts became harder to find and coming out of Europe hasn’t helped with that. “It’s made life more difficult with then not being allowed close contact with people, which then slowed business down.” The garage then went through the process of moving bases at the Crawley Mill Industrial Estate. Then came the blaze at the Crawley Inn, which required crews from six county fire stations to tackle. “The next thing we know the phone goes and it’s the fire service telling Bob to get round to the pub,” said Mr Weiskrantz.
