A historical overview of Sandicliffe, emphasising its growth and core values.
October 18, 2024
Sandicliffe is rich with history, with the company being founded in 1948! Founders Richard Woodhouse and Henry Barton bought a small petrol station and workshop premises in Stapleford, Nottingham. The company name literally came from the 'sandy cliff' that still stands behind the Stapleford garage to this day. Little did Richard Woodhouse and Henry Barton know that over seventy years later, their small business would have grown into one of the largest and most trusted motor retailers in the East Midlands.
In just more than seven decades, Sandicliffe have grown from a simple petrol station to one of the region’s leading motor specialists. Now, if you ask anyone in the East Midlands to name someone who sells new cars, one in three people will say ‘Sandicliffe’, this is testament to the vision of the company’s founders and the appreciated loyalty of drivers in the region. For years, we have been known as the ‘East Midlands’ great motoring family’. Despite our expansion, we remain a family-run business with the values of integrity and honesty at its core, committed to its core values of integrity, customer service, and community involvement.
At its core, Sandicliffe believes in providing exceptional customer service, going above and beyond to meet the needs of each individual who walks through its doors. This commitment to excellence has earned the company a loyal customer base and a reputation for trustworthiness in the automotive industry.
In addition to its dedication to customer service, Sandicliffe is also deeply committed to giving back to the community. The company regularly supports local charities and organizations, volunteering time and resources to help those in need. This commitment to social responsibility is a central tenet of Sandicliffe's ethos.
As Sandicliffe looks towards the future, it remains dedicated to upholding its values of integrity, customer service, and community involvement. The company continues to grow and evolve, always striving to provide the best possible experience for its customers. With a proud history and a bright future ahead, Sandicliffe is poised to continue its journey as a trusted automotive leader in the East Midlands and beyond.
