Twells of Billinghay began when Fred Twells started his original business in 1928 as a Blacksmith. He then later began repairing and modifying cars and lorries before becoming a Ford Retailer in 1938. Fred also owned several buses and transported local people around the county and became well known with his "Flying Fox" bus in which he took Billinghay Athletic FC all around Lincolnshire! Fred later moved into Haulage and building up a large fleet of some 29 lorries, but was then nationalised by the government in 1954. Fred with his two sons Edward and Charles ,undeterred started up again with a Ferguson Tractor Franchise in 1957 and this carried on until the late 1960's when grandson John(our semi retired MD) joined the family business from Grammar School to do the accounts. After some five years car mad John persuaded father Ted and uncle Charles (with his mother’s help) to move the business into car repairs/Mots and Used Car Sales. After enjoying some small success Twells were offered the British Leyland Franchise in 1972 and were later able to win the prestigeous Vauxhall Main Dealership Franchise for central Lincolnshire re-opening in July 1980. Twells have been proud to represent the Vauxhall Brand for some 44 years next year and now with their latest exciting range of Electric, Hybrid and Combustion Enginered Cars and Vans along with an enlarged market area to represent we look forward to many more years in partnership with Vauxhall and the Stellantis Group.
