From the administrators' statement
The following has been provided by Christopher Jackson, the director of the Company
The company commenced trading in September 1991. During the then recession, the director had been made redundant from his position as sales director for the Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Ferrari marques for the northwest of England.
Initially working from home, through his knowledge of the luxury market and customer contacts the director started to build the business. After a few months, the company was able to lease showroom premises in Wilmslow from where the business further built its customer base and success record. Around 1995 the company relocated to freehold premises in Alderley Edge which the director had purchased personally, where it remained until April 2022 when those premises were sold.
