About Twells Vauxhall
Established over 102 years ago. Brief History of our 4th Generation Family Business. Twells of Billinghay began when Fred Twells started his original business in 1928 as a Blacksmith in the village of Billinghay which is located in the centre of Lincolnshire. He then later began repairing and modifying cars and lorries before becoming a Ford Retailer in 1938. Fred also owned several buses and transported local people around the county and became well known with his "Flying Fox" bus in which he took Billinghay Athletic FC all around Lincolnshire to play football!Fred later moved into Haulage and began building up a large fleet of 29 lorries, but was then nationalised by the government in 1954. Fred with his two sons Edward and Charles, undeterred started up again with a Ferguson Tractor Franchise in 1957, and this carried on until the late 1960's when grandson John (our current MD) joined the family business from Sleaford Grammar School, when really he only wanted to become a PE Teacher!.. After some five years John, who was crazy about cars, persuaded father Ted and his Uncle Charles to move the business into car Servicing and repairs and Used Car Sales before being offered the British Leyland Franchise in 1972. Enjoying some success John wanted to become a Main Dealer dealing directly with a manufacturer, and this chance was taken up in July 1980 to represent Vauxhall for cars and vans for Central Lincs. Twells have been proud to represent the Vauxhall Brand for 40 years next year and with the new revised 2019 Contracts giving Twells a larger area within Central Lincs, they look forward to many more years in partnership with Vauxhall and the PSA group. John has worked hard to build up the business with his wife Marjorie, and they are now joined by daughter Sarah ( Co Accountant) and son in law Dan short (Sales Director) who are already taking the business forward yet again. Twells have been winning awards from Vauxhall for Customer Satisfaction and then Customer Excellence since their inception in 2004. This was culminated in Twells being jointly awarded Best 2017 UK Dealer in all of the UK (jointly with two other dealers) by JD Power/Auto Express. Twells have now been awarded Vauxhall 2019 UK No.1 for Customer Excellence. Twells secret of success they say is to always treat people with respect and fairly each and every time. John and Marjorie Twells are very proud of the team they have built at Twells of Billinghay over the year.
