After leaving college armed with a National Craft Certificate Mark Beale served his apprenticeship with a multi fleet contract hire specialist called Allen Hire in Wolvey. After this Mark joined Arbury Service Station as a Technician. There he was encouraged to attend many Peugeot courses and upon completion of these he was rewarded with promotion to Peugeot Master Technician. "The lessons instilled in me from working in a family run business have stayed with me throughout my business life" Mark said. In 2000 big changes were happening. Mark became a father for the first time and he decided to setup The Peugeot Specialist Ltd. The business started well and soon we had recruited our first employee Paul, who he'd worked alongside previously at Arbury. Together they continued to provide that personal touch to their customers. With the birth of his second son and with the encouragement of his wife, Rachael, they moved to bigger premises to undertake MOTs. Chris joined them as an apprentice, which he has now completed, and soon after that Steven joined from Arbury. Latterly Chris's brother Jason joined them from the Corner House Garage.
