The list of midlands businesses closing due to rising costs continues to grow.
Rising costs have claimed yet another midlands business.
Moate Motors has made the decision to close its doors for the final time, citing what it describes as 'constant' increases in the cost of parts and general expenses.
It also says difficulty in hiring staff to keep up with demand has led to the 'incredibly difficult' decision.
The vehicle repair shop has been in business in Moate for two and a half years, and will close its doors for the final time next Friday.
In a post on social media, it's thanking all of its customers who have supported the shop over the years.
