About [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] Ltd

They are the longest standing Vauxhall Dealership in UK – still trading successfully as a family business for 126 years. Our company began in 1899, specialising in tar-spraying machines. Young engineer Frederick George Barnes purchased a small business in Godalming and initially focused on maintaining steam road rollers. His skills soon led him to service the emerging “horseless carriages” and invent a tar-spraying machine to create durable, dust-free roads. After World War I, the business diversified into hire cars and a driving school. In 1920, Barnes became a Chevrolet dealer. By 1922, his sons joined, and in 1936, they opened a Guildford site. Today, Chief Executive Officer Rob Walford leads the business, with the grandson of FG Barnes continuing to play a role.
