About Drayton Motor Group

Their story began in 1998, when they opened their doors as Wilson & Co — a family-run business built on simple values: look after people, work hard, and always do the right thing. Over the years, those values helped them grow, earn trust, and become a familiar name in their communities.

In 2013, they expanded their family by acquiring Drayton Motors. From that moment, they have proudly operated two brands, side by side, with the same leadership, the same teams, and the same commitment to customer care.

For more than a decade, Wilson & Co and Drayton Motors have shared the same values and the only difference has been the door. From April 2026 that changed and all ten dealerships now operate as Drayton Motors.
