Stan Palmer Limited

Stan Palmer Limited, multi-brand dealership in Cumbria

Stan Palmer Limited is a family-owned dealer group operating in Cumbria from three locations: Carlisle, Cockermouth and Bolton Low Houses, near Wigton. The company states it has been active in the region since 1959 and has more than 50 years of experience in the sector, with a reputation built on value for money and customer service.

Brands represented

The group distributes new vehicles from six brands: Ford, Honda, Isuzu, MG, Mitsubishi and Suzuki. Each brand has its own sections within its offering, including new vehicle catalogues, current promotions and specific programmes such as Motability, aimed at customers with mobility needs.

New, used and nearly new vehicles

In addition to new vehicle sales, Stan Palmer Limited sells used vehicles and a selection of nearly new vehicles under the name "As Good As New". The company also has savings programmes on new vehicles, such as the Affinity initiative, and offers specific deals on certain models, including the Honda Super-N, the Isuzu D-Max and various MG and Mitsubishi models.

Servicing, parts and MOT

All the group's dealerships have fully equipped service workshops and parts departments. The facilities include modern diagnostic, repair and MOT testing equipment. The company states it has manufacturer-trained technicians to carry out routine servicing, repairs and fault diagnosis to manufacturer standards.

Finance and business customers

The group advises on finance options for vehicle purchases. Stan Palmer Ltd acts as a credit broker, not a lender, and may introduce customers to a limited number of lenders. The company states that it typically receives a fixed commission calculated by reference to the vehicle model or the amount financed, which does not affect the interest charged on the agreement, as this is set by the lender. It also offers specific support for fleets and business needs.

Structure and locations

The business is spread across three locations in Cumbria. In Carlisle, the Honda, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and Suzuki operations are based, along with the registered office at Montgomery Way, Rosehill Industrial Estate. In Cockermouth, Honda and MG operate, while the Ford dealership is in Bolton Low Houses, in Wigton. The company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit activities, with reference number 673128, and is an appointed representative of Autoprotect (MBI) Limited for insurance mediation.
