Ford Retail Group Ltd. , currently operating as TrustFord,[2] is an operator of franchised motorcar dealerships in the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands that is now owned by Ford of Europe . In addition to selling both new and used Ford and Iveco cars and commercial vehicles, Ford Retail Group dealerships also operate their full garage workshop, repair and service centre.[3]
History [ edit ]
In October 1998, Jardine Motors Group announced a joint venture with the manufacturer for its Ford dealerships.[4] The merged firm was named Polar Ford.[5]
The following year, Polar Ford purchased Dagenham Motors.[6] In May 2002, Polar Ford purchased a further three dealerships in North London from Stripestar,[7] and Alperton Ford in February 2003,[8] before Jardine sold their 51% stake in the joint venture to Ford in March 2004, at which point the company became known as Ford Retail Group.[9]
By 2014, Ford Retail Group was operating under a number of different names:[2]
Dagenham Ford – primarily located in London and the surrounding counties
Polar Ford – primarily located in Yorkshire and North West England
Brunel Ford – located in South West England
Heartlands Ford – Birmingham and surrounding area
Lindsay Ford – Northern Ireland
Bougourd Ford – Guernsey
La Motte Ford – Jersey

As a result, the company took the decision that year to rebrand all its activities under the single name of TrustFord.[10]
