Arnold Clark, Supporter of the Outstanding Contribution by a Young Business Leader Award
customer might need for the onward journey, with parts and servicing departments, an accident repairs division, and insurance services. All this takes a lot of people
“Arnold Clark is delighted to be sponsoring the Outstanding Contribution by a Young Business Leader category at the Inspiring City Awards. Sir Arnold Clark was a young entrepreneur from the East End of Glasgow when he started the company with just one showroom in 1954. So, it feels very fitting for us to sponsor this award, which celebrates and recognises the city’s future business leaders.”
Spokesperson for Arnold Clark
THE Arnold Clark Group is the UK’s largest independently owned car retailer, with a proud history and an exciting future. Founded in 1954, the fledgling business took off from 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. Fast forward 65 years, and
the company continues to flourish; with 200 branches across the country, and selling over 300,000 cars a year. 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. In fact, Arnold Clark has
diversified over the years to incorporate a range of specialisms. Like its own finance division, launched in 1963 to help make cars more affordable to its customers. There’s also a vehicle rental and fleet management division, with its very own film and TV division, and a fleet of over 5000 cars. The Group also offers everything that a
power – 12,500 employees with a wealth of talents and abilities. And while car sales is one of the company’s strong points, it’s not the only one. The Group has its own in-house marketing department, a film studio, accounts training academy and three purpose-built training centres in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the West Midlands, with an apprenticeship scheme that places over 400 young people on the path to success every year. And then, there’s the
matter of security – a huge undertaking for a company of this size and scale, with such considerable assets.
