Established in 1790 in London as ironmongers, Haynes Bros Ltd is now the Holding Company for a group of subsidiary companies operating throughout the South East.
Moving to Kent in 1832, the Company was the first in the county to take on the Ford Motor Company franchise in 1911 and then sell and distribute the complete range of Ford cars, trucks and agricultural machinery.
Today, it is the only privately owned company in the UK that still distributes this range of products, albeit now with different manufacturers given Ford Motor Company’s departure from the truck and agricultural sectors in the UK. As part of this move, the Company has developed a relationship with CNH Industrial and also now distributes their agricultural products via their subsidiaries New Holland and Case IH. The Company also distributes Iveco Trucks which were formerly a part of CNH Industrial. Finally, it also holds the JCB agricultural franchise, as well as franchises for other leading makes of farm machinery.
Currently the Company has four subsidiaries operating from 11 locations in the South East and with a staff of over 350 it has sales in excess of £130m.
