In 2019, alongside my full-time employment as an automotive trimmer, I started up in a spare room in my parent's house. My first award-winning car was in that summer of the same year.
I was trusted with more projects which enabled the business to grow, whilst also being a customer for my own work to maintain perfection and add more awards to the shelf. Now with 10 years experience, we are more motivated than ever at Hawkes Autoworks to share our passion for interiors - ensuring the aspect of the car you spend most of your time looking at reflects you.
