Celebrating 165 years of Hendy Group , I’m thrilled to look back on the milestones that have shaped us, and I'd like to share with you more chapters in our story. Back in the 1890s, we entered the emerging automotive world as distributors for Benz, Bolle and De Dion-Bouton - brands that have since faded from production. Our most significant milestone, however, came in 1910 when my great-great-uncle Percy Hendy met with Henry Ford at Southampton Docks, establishing Hendy as Britain’s first Ford dealer. Just a few years later, in 1913, we expanded further opening Ford dealerships in Bournemouth and later in Portsmouth, extending our footprint across the South Coast. Throughout Percy’s career, he grew the business substantially and notably supported the war effort by servicing Fordson tractors and building Spitfires at the former Hendy Vincent's Walk site in Southampton, where Hendy mechanics built over 4,000 Spitfires. Earlier this year I was incredibly touched when my family and I unveiled a blue plaque, donated by Hendy Foundation , to honour the sites and people involved in Spitfire production. 1. Boscombe dealership, c.1938 2. Percy Hendy 3. At the blue plaque unveiling with Ben , Rebecca , and Will 4. Spitfires being built at Vincent's Walk 5. An original Hendy Ford Model T advert These years of growth, resilience, and commitment to the community under Percy’s leadership very much continue to inspire me today, and his values still remain at the heart of our business and foundation. I look forward to sharing more chapters of our history soon! #Hendy165 #FamilyBusiness #HendyGroup

Spoiler alert. cap hpi reports October’s retail activity was healthy, with respectable demand and dealers feeling relatively upbeat - more so than where they were last year.
