30 Kwik-Fit Managers Investigated Over Bonus Irregularities
Managers of around 30 Kwik-Fit depots have been suspended and are being investigated over claims they manipulated figures in order increase their bonuses. According to a report in The Sun, most of the 30 depots affected are in Scotland, however a Kwik-Fit spokesperson told Tyres & Accessories/tyrepress.com that the inquiry covers branches across the UK.
Kwik-Fit's press representatives sought to downplay the newspaper reports, pointing out that while staff have been suspended there is not yet any evidence of wrongdoing. Managers are no-doubt seeking to avoid the kind of attention attracted by The Sun's news story which ran under a headline mocking the company's famous tag-line – “You can’t nick quicker than a Kwik-Fit fiddler.”
