About the company
Company website•Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, Hospitality, Retail
Founded in 1954, Arnold Clark is the UK’s largest independent, family-run car retailer. The company started with a single-car showroom on Glasgow’s Park Road, given flight by its founder’s simple philosophy: to offer genuine value for money and customer service of the highest level.
Since then, the Arnold Clark Group has continued to grow with over 200 branches in the UK – selling over 200,000 cars a year in locations stretching from Elgin to Southampton.
But while Arnold Clark is a name that’s synonymous with vehicle sales, there’s much more to the business than you see on the showroom floor. There’s also a vehicle rental and fleet management operation, training group and vehicle auction division. The Group offers everything that a customer might need for the onward journey, with parts and servicing departments, an accident repairs division, EV charging solutions and insurance services.
