Our Story
Where we've come from and what makes us different?
Back in 1998 our Owner and Managing Director, Jonathan Bischoff, had worked his way up to a Sales & Brand Manager in the local car industry, but thought, "I want to do things differently". Jonathan contacted Volkswagen UK Headquarters, a brand he most respected, and put forward his case. In December 1998 he was selected to become one of the first Volkswagen Sponsored Retailers, and at 28 years old, the youngest. Thus the JCB Group was born with just one showroom, which is now our Head Office, at JCB Medway in Gillingham Business Park.
Over the following years, additional brands, buildings and businesses have been added to the group, expanding it from one brand, one branch to multiple manufacturers, used car and van outlets, car and van rental sites, corporate fleet sales, a van modification collaboration and trade parts centres at over 30 sites in Kent, Sussex and Essex.
Jonathan remains at the head of the company, very much hands on with day-to-day business. Continuing to travel to each branch, meeting with managers and staff on a daily basis.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, full-time and may require the occasional weekend work where required.
