Ford company profile
Ford: Ford is the biggest motor company in the UK, with seven locations and over 550 dealerships. We’ve been Britain’s best-selling car brand for over 30 years, and our commercial vehicles have been market leaders since 1965. We currently sell around 440,000 cars and commercial vehicles each year. And one of our biggest success stories has been the Ford Focus: it’s been the UK’s most popular car each year since its launch in 1998. Ford has established The Ford Standard. Quite simply, it’s what you get from all of our vehicles and from us when you buy a car. We’ve introduced a more straightforward approach to our advertised on the road prices, which means you actually benefit from lower prices. You won't ever find any hidden extras, just a wealth of features and smart technology to give outstanding value.
