Employee Feedback

"I’ve worked at E1 for 4 years now as a fitter and have never been happier. All my previous jobs have never had as good work/ life balance with 4 day working weeks. It’s also clean work which makes a difference and you’re not going home every night covered in oil. Would highly recommended to any mechanics as it’s night and day compared to working in a car / lorry garage."
