Solus opens new vehicle repair centre in Newport


Solus, an Aviva subsidiary, has opened its latest vehicle damage repair centre in Newport, South Wales.

The new centre is the first Solus site in Wales and is part of our strategy to support customers by increasing the number of claims managed from start to finish.

Located at St. Modwen Park, the 23,000 ft2 site will create more than 30 jobs, ranging from repair consultants and technicians to customer care. The Solus Newport site also incorporates solar panels, thermal lining and rainwater harvesting.

Solus - the nationwide network of vehicle damage repair centres - repairs and manages the loss of vehicles after a driving accident or incident, managing a third of our overall motor damage claims.

There are now 22 Solus sites across the UK, with other recent locations including Bolton, Castleford and Nottingham.
