For Immediate Release                                             17 August 2006



                    JCC selected for group wide contract with 

                          major motor insurance company



Just Car Clinic (JCC), the UK's second largest collision repair chain, is
celebrating after winning a contract, which will see the whole group acting as a
named repairer for Fortis Insurance Limited (FIL).


The contract win is the result of a three year strong relationship between JCC
and the national insurer and will see its 12 sites - based throughout the
Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire regions - working closely with
Eastleigh based FIL on thousands of its motor insurance claims each year.


JCC, which turned over #25m last year and employs 405 people, is delighted to be
one of only 88 repairers to have been selected following a nationwide tendering
process. FIL has scaled down the number of approved repairers it uses for its
motoring division to provide a more bespoke service to its policyholders.


Previously not all of JCC's sites carried out work for FIL and winning this
contract will secure existing volume and improve flexibility to repair vehicles
at all sites. The new contract is part of FIL's Solutions Centres initiative,
which was launched a year ago to build up a network of the best like minded
repairers across the country - they started off with over 200 and now Managing
Director, Barry Whittles, is delighted that JCC is one of the few companies
awarded a new contract.


He said: "We are naturally over the moon that all 12 of our sites have been
selected as approved repairers for Fortis, it's a pleasure to work with a
company of it's size and renowned reputation.


"Fortis put the contracts out to tender in order to ensure they are working with
the highest calibre of repairers and the most strategic partners - we are proud
to have been selected. As an organisation, JCC is very flexible across the
board, which I believe is one of the reasons we can service this client so well
- we offer much more than just a repair service.


"Having always enjoyed a strong working relationship with them, the fact that
all of our sites will now be approved repairers for FIL can only strengthen this
even further."


Rob Smale, Claims Director, Fortis Insurance commented, "We are pleased to be
working with Just Car Clinic, who have been chosen based on their enthusiasm and
approach to innovation, service and cost controls. The aim of the initiative was
to transform supplier relationships in order to deliver extraordinary customer
service at a competitive cost. Working with customer-focused suppliers such as
JCC, we hope to set the benchmark for the future changes in the repair and motor
claims industry that will benefit all customers."
