Our History

Our Story

Six years. One direction.

Founded in 2020 by two friends with over 20 years of combined motor-trade experience, GT Automotive Group has grown from five cars on a forecourt in Retford to a hand-picked prestige dealership and aftersales workshop in Sheffield. Here’s how we got here.

2020

The beginning

Two friends with two decades of combined experience across franchise sales, aftersales and management start GT Automotive Group — doing everything themselves, from delivering cars to valeting the stock.

2021

FCA authorised & our first showroom

We become FCA regulated, allowing us to offer finance options to our customers, and open our first dedicated showroom in Retford.

2022

Outgrew Retford — moved to Sheffield

Demand quickly outstripped the Retford site. In November we moved into a larger home at Orgreave Way, Sheffield — room to grow the stock and the team.

2023

Aftersales brought in-house

We add our own aftersales workshop — servicing and repairs handled on-site — and become an RAC Approved Garage, so the same standard of care continues long after the sale.

2024

A step upmarket

A deliberate shift in direction: fewer cars, higher quality. We move away from budget runarounds towards hand-picked, carefully sourced vehicles — never bought blind at auction.

2025

Going premium

We focus fully on German and prestige marques — the cars our customers actually want, presented to a standard that goes beyond expectation.

2026

Still pushing

Our workshop is expanding and our prestige range keeps growing. Same two directors on the floor, same standard — just more of it.
