About us
The Sinclair Group has a unique reputation for quality and excellent service to our customer. The attitude and dedication of all our employees has built the Sinclair Group into the respected company it is today.
RICH HISTORY
In 1945, after returning from the war, Bill Sinclair set up Sinclair Garages in Dan y Bryn Road, Port Talbot. By the late 1960’s Bill Sinclair had already become well established as a repairer and non-franchised dealer of motor vehicles, selling new and used Jaguars, Triumphs and Rovers, and in 1971 Sinclair Garages secured the Audi franchise. Later that year the reins of the business were passed over to his son Gerald Sinclair, who still works from his office at Dan y Bryn Road every day.
TRUSTED BY THE WORLD’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS CAR MANUFACTURERS
From it’s origins at Port Talbot, which now houses one of our 6 New and Approved Used Volkswagen showrooms, the Sinclair Group has grown into Wales’ largest and most successful motor group with 19 retailers across South and West Wales including new and approved used Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Škoda, smart, Volkswagen and Commercial Vehicles.
We also operate an independent used car retailer - Sinclair Direct, a Car Hire service, body shops and a specialist Contract Hire business - Sinclair Finance & Leasing - supporting our dealerships in-house as well as independently to other companies.
Our success has gained the recognition of the financial press who placed the Group firmly in the 'Wales Top 50' and 'Uk Top 250' most successful privately owned companies.
The mission statement that Bill Sinclair quoted in 1945 was:
'To consistently delight our customers, and provide our staff
with first-class employment in a challenging and rewarding
environment.'
This remains our mission statement to this very day.
