How it all started

1909

1909

From 2 horses to 12 dealerships

When Oliver Barnard took his first tentative steps into the transport industry in 1909, the introduction of the car to Stowmarket was still a few years away, and little could he have known the company would go on to become one of East Anglia’s leading privately owned companies.

Operating from a site on Station Road, on which Barnards Volkswagen still stands today, Oliver introduced Model ‘T’ Fords to Stowmarket in 1921. It was formerly known as O. G. Barnard and Sons.

By 1931 the company was selling Vauxhalls, Bedfords and Chevrolet cars and trucks, as well as building their own bus bodies.

1959

Throughout these early years the motor business operated hand in hand with the haulage side of the business. It was Oliver’s son, Jack Barnard, who formed the foundations of the haulage business in 1959 when he was asked if he knew where 12,000 tons of Cuban sugar could be stored.

1980

1980

O. G. Barnard and Sons became authorised Volkswagen and Audi dealers in 1980. This complemented the existing range of Mercedes cars, which they had been selling since 1931.

Late 1900s
