Our Story
From one showroom to the South's most trusted motor group
Waylands was founded in 2017 when the group opened their first Volvo showroom in Reading. What started as a single dealership quickly grew as word spread about our straightforward approach to selling and servicing vehicles.
Over the decades we have expanded across the south of England, adding franchise partnerships with Kia, Polestar, Honda, OMODA JAECOO, MG and AION. Despite our growth, we have never lost the personal, family-run ethos that set us apart from day one.
We believe our people are our greatest asset. From manufacturer-trained technicians to dedicated sales advisors, every member of the Waylands team is passionate about delivering an exceptional customer experience. We invest heavily in training and development.
Today, Waylands employs over 600 people across over 20 dealerships and service centres. We are proud to be one of the South's most trusted motor groups, with a 4.9-star customer rating and seven consecutive Dealer Group of the Year awards.
