Why Customers & Clients Keep Coming Back
What truly sets North West Emergency Locksmiths apart isn’ t just their rapid response or comprehensive kit, it’ s the no-nonsense transparency.“ We don’ t do the‘ from £ 49’ er game. We give customers a full quote up front. We talk it through. No surprises. That’ s how you build trust,” says Mark.
This honesty, paired with technical expertise, has earned them top rankings on review platforms like FreeBusinessIndex. co. uk, and repeat contracts with housing associations, retailers, security departments, and emergency services.
They’ ve also developed their own EVA EPS master key system, used by housing providers and commercial clients alike.“ We’ re not just doing callouts. We’ re building systems, offering long-term solutions, and giving clients confidence. It’ s about offering futureproof solutions.”
Keep it in the Family Mark’ s drive and passion are matched by those closest to him. His daughter, son, and brother all help run the business, making it a true family affair. His wife, Jayne, has been his steady support, and the team spirit shows in everything they do.
Even outside locksmithing, Mark is committed to supporting his community, most notably by sponsoring a local pro boxer Lewis Molineux, who’ s already stacked up six professional wins!
“ He’ s a young lad with fire in his belly, just like I was,” Mark says.“ I know what it takes to build something from nothing. Supporting him just felt right. I help with his medical licence, gear, and even pitch in for ringside tickets at £ 500 a pop. It
helps cover the costs and the prize money. It’ s great to be a part of it and watch him grow.”
Looking Ahead
With five award nominations, ongoing national contracts, and a shop that’ s quickly become a local landmark, Mark isn’ t slowing down anytime soon.
“ This isn’ t just a business- it’ s my life. It’ s what I love. After all these years, we’ re still evolving, still investing, still improving. It’ s what it’ s all about.”
As voting closes this September and the UK Locksmith Awards prepare for their racecourse ceremony, one thing’ s for sure: North West Emergency Locksmiths isn’ t just ready for the main event, they’ re setting the standard. With
