From a hobby to a compliance solution: FileGuard featured in ABP Magazine
29 September 2026
ABP Magazine explores how FileGuard grew from a practical solution at Castle Coachworks into a platform helping bodyshops organise their compliance records.
FileGuard is featured in the Autumn 2026 edition of Auto Body Professional (ABP Magazine), in a two-page profile titled “From a Hobby to a Compliance Solution”.
The feature follows Ellis Lennon’s journey from managing compliance administration at Castle Coachworks in Northampton to developing FileGuard in his spare time. Built around the day-to-day needs of a working bodyshop, the platform brings documents and reminders together to make important records easier to organise and find.
ABP also shares the experience of Graham Henwood, Compliance Manager at EV Bodyshops in Enfield. His feedback highlights the value of centralised records, reminders and custom categories for managing compliance administration.
The article looks at FileGuard’s early development and Ellis’s ambitions for its future, including potential applications beyond the bodyshop sector.
