A market town between two busy roads
Rothwell is an old market town, with the Market House and Holy Trinity church at its centre. It is also a place people drive through and out of every day. The A6 runs through the area between Kettering and Desborough, and the A14 is close by, so a lot of Rothwell drivers spend time on fast, busy roads.
That shapes our vehicle recovery in Rothwell. We get calls from the A6 and A14, but just as many from homes, streets and car parks in the town itself.
Who we are
Rapid Recovery Corby is a local recovery business run by George Mitchell, with over five years in vehicle recovery. Our trucks are based in Corby, and Rothwell is a short run from there via Kettering. When you call, we give you a realistic arrival time.
We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, and we always answer the phone.
