In 1966, as a young motor engineer
of 18, I founded the business of A. Turner (sole proprietor). Working
from a base in the former village hall, I specialised in breakdown
and recovery work and became the youngest proprietor to be appointed
a Ford Retail Dealer, a position still held today.
The success of the company quickly lead to the
purchase of a five acre site on Sedgefield Industrial Estate.
As the site developed, and demand for our services
increased, the business became Turners of Sedgefield Ltd. in 1975.
