Chapter 9

 

THE START OF NEXT 100 YEARS

In 1903, when Mr Harry Caffyn manoeuvred the first car over the threshold at The Colonnade, little did he know that 100 years later Caffyns would be operating from around thirty sites located in Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire, with franchises for thirteen makes of new car, and group stock of more than 1000 used cars.

 

As the motor industry has changed throughout its life, so of course has Caffyns. The constant changes in legislation, global and national economy, lifestyle and attitudes all play a part. Yet, as the Company enters its third century of business with a turnover of £150m, many of the values practised by previous generations of the Caffyns family still remain in place.

Caffyns continues to be proud of its Sussex roots, with the centre of its wide-ranging activities still located at Meads Road, Eastbourne. In the early days the first garage development was financed by local capital; in the Thirties it was local architects who produced new and exciting designs for the Company's branches. Today, the advice and services of locally based companies and professional people are still retained whenever possible. Six of the Company's branches are located in Eastbourne, where it has been trading for over 140 years.

The Company has not lost sight of their founders' values of personal, friendly service and customer care offered by their long term commitment to both the car and the customer.

With an extensive range of vehicles and services to offer, the expertise built up by being around as long as the motor car, by always keeping up to date with the latest developments and facilities and the possession of a strong financial position, Caffyns, still a family run business, can face the future with confidence
