Fast-Fit Manager Wins Michelin Competition

Fast-fit workshop manager Andy Smedley (38) has beaten 500 other entrants across the UK, displaying outstanding tyre knowledge.

Andy Smedley, the workshop manager for Fast-Fit in Norwich, entered the Michelin Certified Programme competition after being put forward by his area manager. He answered all 47 questions on tyre technology correctly, securing him a place in the top ten for the semi finals.

He spent two days at the Michelin factory in Dundee to complete the final part of the competition, where it was announced that he was the overall winner. He was awarded the top prize, a city break to the romantic city of Paris.

Andy, who has worked for the company for six years, is thrilled to have won: “The initial round was challenging, and the questions at the second stage in Dundee were even harder. When I found out I had won, I was delighted and my partner and I are really looking forward to the holiday to Paris – it’s going to be a real treat,” he said.

Another staff member of Fast-Fit, Darren Benjamin from the Colchester branch, was also one of the ten finalists invited to Dundee.
