Since our founding in 1971, we've been more than just a business; we're a tight-knit community built on family values and trust, and focused on providing exceptional service to our customers. Over the years, we've grown and evolved, each time with the aim of providing our customers and community with an even better experience and offering.
We are thrilled therefore to announce the next part of our story - a brand new collaboration with the D. M. Keith family which marks an exciting new chapter in our journey, and one that promises even greater opportunities and benefits for all of our valued customers.
For those who may not be familiar, let's take a quick look back in time.
The doors first opened back in 1971, fuelled by Colin's love for motorcycles and a passion for excellence. From humble beginnings as a single motorcycle dealership in Keighley, grew a trusted name across West Yorkshire & Greater Manchester, a name which has instilled trust into thousands of customers for more than 50 years and continues to be driven with family values at it's core.
Every member of our team from day one to today, shares in the same dedication to treat each customer and colleague like a cherished member of their own family.
Over the years, we've expanded our offerings, becoming the first Suzuki car dealership in the UK in 1979 and later adding the Subaru franchise along with Nissan to our roster. These milestones have allowed us to provide our valued customers with even more options and convenience, all while maintaining the same level of care and attention to detail that our customers expect.

And so begins the next part of our story; the coming together of two familes with the same DNA and values at their core, both with an outstanding reputation within the industry.
Just like Colin Appleyard, D. M. Keith has grown from humble beginnings to a succesful multi franchise, multi site business across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire whilst still retaining it's family foundations throughout.
Sharing a rich heritage, and a combined 114 years of experience, the collaboration between Colin Appleyard and D.M. Keith only strengthens our commitment to our customers. D. M. Keith understand the importance of building lasting relationships and going above and beyond to exceed expectations.
By coming together, we're not just expanding our reach and offerings, but also strengthening our commitment to upholding our shared values. With D. M. Keith's commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, we're confident that this collaboration will only further enhance the exceptional service and support our customers have come to expect from us.
