From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated in December 1959 and primarily traded from the freehold premises at York Road, Doncaster, DN5 8AN. The Company also traded from the building known as ‘Select’ which was adjacent to the freehold premises. The current director/shareholders of the Company can be found at Appendix A. The Company held the franchises for Volkswagen (“VW”) and Skoda vehicles and is a subsidiary of T.Hayselden Limited and sister company of T.Hayselden (Barnsley) Limited.
The Company’s main source of income was the sale of new and used cars. Additional income was generated from servicing and repairs in workshops adjacent to the car showrooms. The underlying business was largely successful and profits of £648,354 were posted for the year ending 31 December 2022.
Whilst the sole director, Mark Hayselden, was fully integrated in the day-to-day operations of the Company, he was supported by a team of 95 employees, made up of car sales representatives, customers service representatives, mechanics, technicians and office workers.
