Driven by Family, Powered by People

We are a family business to our core. Founded in 1969 as a Volvo retailer, to this present day we are still owned and run by the Chapman family and we were recognised as 'Volvo Retailer of the Year' in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and awarded 'Volvo Investor Group of the Year' in 2024 & 2025.

In February 2023 we acquired two further dealerships in Bradford and Huddersfield and have recently relocated to a brand new state of the art dealership on Canal Road, Bradford BD1 4SR.

At our centre is our people. We couldn’t consistently achieve outstanding customer service without our extremely loyal, and dedicated workforce of over 225 people. They really are the beating heart of the business which keeps us ahead of our competitors and at the forefront of our customers' minds when they think of Volvo.

Our Journey, our promise

As we continue to grow and embrace the future of driving, we remain committed to delivering the same trusted, personal service that’s defined us since 1969.
