Lawtons of Tadcaster is a Ford Retail Dealership
located halfway between York and Leeds set in the beautiful North
Yorkshire countryside on the edge of Tadcaster, a town renowned for
its 3 breweries.
Stewart Lawton founded the dealership in April 1989 on a brown
field site. It took only 9 months to complete from start to finish,
with Stewart Lawton doing much of the work himself.
Prior to this Stewart Lawtons association with Ford goes back to
1967, when he first started selling Ford cars.
The first car sold by Lawtons of Tadcaster was a white Ford
Orion to a Mr Ford, who has since bought all his cars from us.
With over 40 years Ford experience Stewart Lawton has created a
dealership that has received the Dealer of Distinction Award from
Ford on many occasions.
In 1993 we were awarded ISO9002, being one of the first Ford
dealerships in the UK to achieve this prestigious quality award and
subsequently ISO9001:2000.
In 2006 the dealership underwent an extensive refurbishment to
create the dealership we have today with a current showroom and
workshop that boasts all the latest diagnostic technology.
In 2011, Stewart's son, Dean, joined the family business.
