AFTER almost 25 years at Hunts Autopro Parts Professional, original owner, John Hunt will be officially retired as of December 31, 2021.

Hunts is a well-known local retail outlet for specialist car parts, accessories and expert advice, however, John says, that after working seven days a week for almost a quarter of a century, he recently decided to sell the business

Mr Hunt said he was pleased to be able to hand the keys to one of his long term and loyal employees, Marsh Evans, who is also an expert and 20-year veteran of the company.

“My wife Julie and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal customers and friends that have supported us over the last 25 years. They’ve been wonderful but the sale happened so quickly we haven’t had a chance to say goodbye to everyone,” he said.

“I’d also like to thank all our loyal and hardworking staff, the majority of whom are long term.”

Mr Evans said he and his wife Nicole were also looking forward to this new venture and to taking over the reins.

“We’ll miss John but with the ongoing support of Hunts’ many customers and loyal staff, we are sure we will be able to continue with the great service our clients are used to,” he said.
