A lovely little Friday update from our sister company 365 Recovery.

A lovely little Friday update from our sister company 365 Recovery.

IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY

A New Day = A New Beginning....

Today we officially welcome the first of two newer MAN TGM 15t, Tilt & Slide, Crew Cab, Euro 6 recovery vehicles to the fleet.

These vehicles are DVS ready, fully equipped with 360° 24 Hour recording CCTV systems and built to the highest operational standards, helping us continue delivering safe, compliant and reliable recovery services throughout Kent.

As part of our ongoing fleet renewal programme, several older vehicles are currently being replaced with newer equipment as we continue investing in the future of the business.

365 Recovery continues to operate 24/7 with the support of a fantastic team who keep the wheels turning every day, providing recovery services to 82 clubs, network partners and the general public across Herne Bay, Whitstable, Canterbury and the wider Kent area.

We remain focused on strengthening our fleet, supporting our clients and continuing to move the business forward.

Sometimes rumours travel faster than facts… but actions will always speak louder.

🚛 Out with the old. In with the new.

A message from our sister company owned by the parent ForGroup Holdings Limited

OUT WITH THE OLD. IN WITH THE NEW.

Over the last few days we’ve become aware of a number of defamatory and slanderous comments circulating online suggesting that 365 Recovery is closing down or that vehicles have been repossessed.

For clarity:

365 Recovery was incorporated & solely funded by the shareholders of ForGroup Holdings Limited in 2022. No outside investment was ever received, nor accepted.

FGH, the holdings company, has always outrightly owned and operated 365 Recovery by the group shareholders and acting directors.

Contrary to any fabricated exaggerations or misleading interpretations, 365 Recovery remains trading as usual.

365 Recovery continues operating 24/7, 7 days a week in Kent with the support of our network of clubs and other local recovery operators with a fantastic team who keep the wheels turning every day to support all of our clients and the general public throughout the county.

As with many growing businesses, operational roles have been fulfilled by employees and non-shareholding directors at different times, however ownership, strategic direction and financial control have always remained at group level.

As part of our ongoing fleet renewal programme and new contract requirements, four of our older recovery vehicles have recently been sent to auction to which are now being replaced with newer, modern vehicles joining the operational fleet this a Friday (contrary to fabricated rumours & stories of repossession), in agreement and working with our leasing company to support the acquisition of the newer assets imminently arriving.

We’re excited to announce and welcome the introduction of stage 1 for 2026:

2 x Euro 6 low-emission recovery vehicles that are DVS-ready and fitted with full 360° CCTV systems, helping ensure the highest levels of safety, compliance and operational capability for the businesses we support.

We continue to support and provide services to 82 companies across Kent and the South East, and remain committed to investing in our fleet and improving the service we deliver.

Businesses evolve, equipment gets upgraded and we continue to move forward.

2026 marks the point where we have calculated the need to retire our older fleet from previous operational arrangements and replace them with newer, reliable equipment capable of supporting our clients to the standard we both expect, as well as listening closely to our clients and supporting their needs and those of their customers.

This first phase of our 2026 fleet development reflects that feedback and ensures we continue to focus on the areas where we deliver the greatest value and responsiveness, particularly in rapid-response recovery for cars and light commercial vehicles where the majority of our clients require support.

It forms part of a wider operational refinement across the group as we continue to strengthen and modernise the services we provide.

We do however wish all former employees well in their future ventures and appreciate the work they contributed during their time with the business in helping us get to where we are today.

However, speculation and creative storytelling can sometimes travel faster than facts, particularly when it comes from individuals who have not been involved in the day-to-day operations of the business for over 15 months.

Businesses move forward, and sometimes the best thing for everyone is simply to do the same.

Every business goes through chapters of change and as we move forward into the next phase of our journey we remain focused on building a stronger, more modern operation for the many years ahead.

As always, we remain focused on the road ahead and on supporting the many businesses and general public that rely on us every day.

Actions will always speak louder than rumours. Some people talk, we prefer to work…
