About Jon

Jon is the Director at IN'n'OUT Autocentres, a national MOT, service and car maintenance specialist. The business has been in Northampton since 2008 and have developed a lot of strong links over our time here, continuing to strengthening these with fellow Brackmills businesses.

As Brackmills started its third term as a Business Improvement District (BID) in 2019, to help celebrate and support that, IN'n'OUT Autocentres gifted offices and a meeting room space to the BID team, giving them a dedicated and spacious home for the first time.

Giving back locally is something Jon feels strongly about. This is why Jon became a director of the BID, he enjoys volunteering his time to help shape the estate and support businesses on the estate to thrive.
