A Sunshine Radio Podcast

Tuesday, 21 February 2023 - 7 minutes

Ludlow Motors is a family-owned business proud to have served motorists in Shropshire and the West Midlands for just over 70 years. As it celebrates this milestone, we sent Sunshine Radios Nick Jones into the showroom to chat all about its history and what to expect going forward.

The business was first founded by Mr Derrick Grieveson in Worcester in 1953 and operated under the name of Worcester Carsales. The dealership moved in 1963 to a new site in Hylton Road, Worcester, and 1973 saw Mr Grieveson’s son and current Managing Director, Mr Stuart Grieveson, join the family company. In the last 25 years the company has acquired many new car franchised dealerships in the West Midlands.

During 70 years of trading, the family-run business has seen three generations of the Grieveson family enjoying working for the firm, and to date, four of Mr Grieveson’s grandchildren work within the group. It is a wonderful story and unique in this day and age. Long may it continue.
