“Nothing beats coming into work in the morning with empty pockets and leaving with a couple of grand'
In the heart of Bolton lies one of the biggest car breakers in the country which has made serious money out of exporting used car parts to countries as far wide as Nigeria and Poland.
“I remember being 16 or 17 and my driving instructor came round one day to take me for my lessons and he asked about the bikes. I ended up selling him one. From then on, every time he picked me up, the deal was he’d paid me £25 and I didn’t pay for my lesson. “After we got married, I decided that I couldn’t really work like that anymore and that’s really what started the business that stands today. We had a little yard on Church Street in Radcliffe where we’d repair, break and spray cars.
“I never expected to own a yard this big so soon, I must have been about 25 or 26 at the time. We had no money when we moved in, we spent every last penny to buy it but it worked out for us. We recruited good lads and did well for ourselves.” The idea for the show came about after Terry and the team started sharing quirky videos online replicating popular trends. After their videos received millions of views, television bosses in London reached out to Terry and Lyndsay about a possible show revolving around their business.
The series, which also airs on Discovery+, also shows how the yard has adapted to recent times and how Terry has managed to build a strong network of export partners across the globe, along with a growing online trade.
