Hugh, originally from Mirfield, embarked on his educational journey through local institutions: Knowle First School, Battyeford Middle School, and Mirfield High School, including sixth form.
Post-GCSEs and A levels, he pursued a BTEC in Motor Vehicle Engineering at Wakefield College. Subsequently, he gained hands-on experience at Cottage Cars on Old Bank Road, Mirfield, working closely with the workshop foreman, Richard Mackwell. Additionally, Hugh managed responsibilities at the owner's other garage, Bridge Garage, located on Huddersfield Road in Mirfield.
In 1995, with the change in ownership at Cottage Cars, Richard and Hugh decided to establish their venture, RPM Auto Service Centre. Initially based on Union Road in Liversedge next to Autopaint, they swiftly expanded operations, prompting a move to larger premises on Ashton Clough Road in Liversedge three years later.
The success of RPM Auto Service Centre led to further growth, culminating in a search for more expansive premises with an onsite MOT bay. In 2009, they relocated to Walkley Lane in Heckmondwike, officially opening their MOT bay in 2010. This strategic move marked a pivotal moment in their journey of providing top-notch automotive services.
