Tim Freeman - Managing Director

Long before the advent of the motor car the original Thomas Startin set up his business as a coach builder in 1840. Thomas Startin Jnr Ltd was owned by the Startin family up until 1987 when the Directors who had been with the company since 1949 organised the purchase from the last living member of the Startin family. The acquisition took place to ensure the future continuity of this long-established business which now trades as Startin Group of Companies.

From our humble beginnings in Birmingham, we slowly migrated south. Redditch, Worcestershire, is home to our head office where we have Peugeot, BYD, KIA, KIA PBV and Vauxhall. In Worcester we have our Honda, Dacia, Renault, Peugeot, and Suzuki franchises, just down the road we also have our Škoda and Nissan dealership son Malvern Road in Powick. We also now have a KIA in Warwick, and a Ducati dealership in Nottingham. 

In the past few years we have continued to grow beyond our traditional locations. Startin Kia Warwick now serves customers across the Warwickshire and South Coventry area. Previously known as Lime Garages, Kia Warwick relocated to our modern site at the former BMW location on Heathcote Lane, Warwick, CV34 6SP.

Our expansion has also seen the introduction of Startin Nissan Worcester, located alongside our Škoda site, where we offer the full Nissan vehicle range and support customers with the latest technology and electrified vehicles.

Most recently, we have welcomed two exciting additions to the Startin Group. Startin BYD Redditch brings one of the world’s fastest-growing electric vehicle brands to our portfolio, reflecting the growing demand for innovative electric mobility. We have also opened Ducati Nottingham, extending our reach into the premium motorcycle market and bringing the passion and performance of Ducati to riders across the Midlands.

Today, the Startin Group proudly represents 14 dealerships across nine leading automotive marques, serving communities throughout the West Midlands and beyond.

At Startin Group, we remain grounded in the family values and customer-first mindset that have shaped our business for generations. We’re proud of the trust you’ve placed in us, and as we continue to grow, we are more committed than ever to delivering the high standards of care, service and transparency you expect.

Finance Disclosure

Startin Group Ltd and Thomas Startin Junr Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd's permissions as a Principal Firm allows Startin Group Ltd, Thomas Startin Junr Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required
