About Us

Serving the motoring needs throughout the region

One of the country’s longest established Vauxhall dealerships, Sherwoods history has survived through years of war and economic downturn to grow into the thriving business we enjoy today.

In January 1925, Sherwoods was already an established motor dealership when Richard Alan Sherwood and his brother decided to expand their business to include the Vauxhall brand. Previously a dealer in luxury brands, the brothers clearly saw greater choice and value as being central to their future in selling and maintaining cars.

Some ninety years on, Sherwoods is now a three site business employing 160 colleagues, selling more than 2500 new and used cars every year. Growth has given us the scale and buying power to continue offering the same great choice and value our founders envisaged all those years ago.

Still a small family business at heart, we employ 6 pairs of brothers in the business and have 27 colleagues with more than 20 years service. We believe happy staff equals happy customers so our people are key to offering the highest level of customer care we are proud to be associated with.

Both myself and my father really enjoy meeting our customers. This could be a simple hello, or dealing with problems which require our personal attention. We are very proud of the success we have achieved, but also realise that our business must always keep moving forward and everything we do must focus around our customers.
