Hopkins strengthens HELLA Gutmann team

29 July 2025  

HELLA Gutmann has further expanded its UK workshop equipment team with the appointment of diagnostic expert Glenn Hopkins, reinforcing its commitment to supporting independent garages across the country.

Hopkins joins as business development manager for the south of England and south Wales, bringing extensive experience in diagnostics and a strong focus on helping workshops keep pace with today’s advanced vehicle technologies.

Based near Worthing, he brings experience from previous posts with Bosch, Opus IVS, and Maverick Diagnostics. 

His arrival follows the 2024 appointment of Matt Brown, who has already become a familiar and trusted contact for garages across the north of England and Scotland. He operates from Burnley.

Hopkins and Brown hold ADAS IMI accreditation, underlining their deep technical expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas of vehicle servicing and repair.

Julian Goulding, head of garage equipment at HELLA Gutmann, said: “With both now on board, we’ve significantly strengthened our regional support for workshops, combining practical knowledge with hands-on diagnostic expertise.”
