It has been 40 years since the Cordwallis Group was started by father and son Roy and Ian Thomas, Laurie Dealer can reveal.
Cordwallis became multi-franchised with both Volkswagen and MAN in 1980 operating out of Maidenhead, today its one of the biggest dealers in their respective networks with four sites; Maidenhead as mentioned, Heathrow, Reading and Oxford.
Roy Thomas, who was the Mayor of Maidenhead 1966-1968, is one of three generations still involved in the business today, and brothers Ian and Simon Thomas are MDs of the Cordwallis Group.
Commenting on the four decades Ian Thomas says: "Forty years ago, the business was just a fraction of what it is now, but thanks to our long-term partnership with Volkswagen and MAN, and the dedication and hard work of all the staff that have worked at Cordwallis, we've had fantastic success.
"Even after 40 years, family is still at the heart of the business and we have found that customers really appreciate this in our attention to customer service and values. It has been a hugely rewarding forty years and we hope to continue that for another forty."
Accolades include: Van Centre of the Year 2003, Award of Excellence for Finance and Insurance 2008, and various successes with MAN including its 'Dealer of the Year' in 2002.
Congratulation on reaching middle age, Laurie Dealer wishes everyone at Cordwallis continued success.
