Automotive Skills
Automotive Skills Limited is an English registered charity and one of 25 Sector Skills Councils (SSC), responsible for the retail motor industry, awarded a license by the then secretary of state at the Department for Education and Skills, the Rt Hon Charles Clarke MP, in February 2004.
History
The SSC suffered a fraud at the hands of its finance manager, which was discovered in 2006 [1]. Subsequently, Automotive Skills' SSC license was transferred to the Institute of the Motor Industry in September 2007 [2][3]. The Institute uses the Automotive Skills brand, although the separate charity still exists [4][permanent dead link].
The SSC had a contract with the Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA), which was replaced by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) on 1 April 2008. One role of the UKCES will be to manage the performance of the Sector Skills Councils, advising Ministers on their re-licensing [5].
The members of Automotive Skills Limited appointed liquidators PJ Clark and PD Williams of corporate restructuring organisation MCR, on 24 July 2008 [6][permanent dead link].
Structure
It was headquartered in Brickendon in Hertfordshire.
