In tune with the current climate, the firm is also rolling out measures to be able fit and repair screens more adeptly in wet weather, which poses big problems for screen repair outfits.
"We do about 90% of our business mobile and if it rains, you can't fit," says Mycock. "You've got a big hole where the screen was that's letting in water, but there's also the bond we use - if that gets wet then it won't work. We found that when heavy rain hit, we were having to reschedule, which isn't great, so we've developed two van mounting solutions, which we lovingly call the 'Vanbrella'.
"It sits in a box on the [van's] roof and it's like a wing, which deploys in about 30 seconds. Basically, you can get up to a Ford Transit under this thing and it gives sufficient coverage to make sure the technician, the glass, the car and all the consumables stay dry.
"We're rolling out 200 over the next couple of months. We've got another solution that is similar but comes out from the side. By the back end of the year we'll have about 400 vans fitted with this and the same again next year."
