🎉 CCS celebrates 30 years of Safety Through Innovation

Leigh-headquartered CCS Garage Equipment is celebrating its 30th anniversary in January 2023.

Established in late 1992 by founder James McDonald, CCS commenced trading in January 1993 with a focus on calibration, testing and consultancy services for the automotive sector. The business remains family-owned, with James' son Steve at the helm as the present Managing Director, and although we've grown and expanded our range of services since then, the traditional values at the heart of CCS remain true.

Safety, innovation & quality values

Since 1993, CCS has always had safety, innovation and quality at the heart of everything the business does.
