Current owner Retires.

Robert Buswell, who is Warwick born and bred, started working at Wedgnock Garage in Cape Road when he was in his early teens.
This week Robert will be shutting the garage for good, marking the end of an era for both him and Warwick.
He said: “I worked for Mr David Unitt, who owned the garage, and then I rented it from him and then around 12-15 years ago I bought it off him.
He said he was retiring and I couldn’t let it go.
“It was a hard decision to make to close the garage but I am nearly 70 and after I got an offer that was too good to pass up, I thought it was time I packed up.
“If I had the chance to do my life again I would do the same, as I am very happy with what I have done.
“I am sometimes a bit sad that it has come to an end but I am looking forward to retiring and going on holidays and starting to play golf.
“I would like to thank my family for sticking by me, especially my wife Penny.”
Robert added: “Local people know the garage as I think it has been “Wedgnock Garage” for around 80 years and a lot of people have been asking about what is going on.
“I would like to say thank you to our customers for their support and the people that came to that garage.”
The company was granted planning permission in July.
Robert said that he was particular about what would go on the site if he sold up. I didn’t want it going back into a garage as I have got to come past it and I would think I could have done another five years there. It would be hard for me.
Enterprise gave me a good offer.”
