Family Business Top 100 Recognition For John Tordoff


We are delighted to announce that John Tordoff of JCT600 has been included within the inaugural Family Business United ‘Family Business Top 100,’ which recognises the exceptional contribution of individuals and their work within a family business.


Recognition in respect of:

  • Inspirational Leader

  • Family Business Ambassador

  • Champion of Change & Innovation

  • Multi-Generational Family Business Leader

With a history that stretches back more than 75 years, JCT600 has come an incredibly long way since it started life as a single garage on Sticker Lane in Bradford. Four generations later, and JCT600 remains a proud family business, despite now being one of UK’s largest and most highly respected motor retailers.


JCT600 represents 24 of the world’s most iconic brands at more than 50 locations throughout Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, and the North East, and yet its ambition remains the same as ever – to be the best, not necessarily the biggest.


John is an inspirational leader and presides over a business that has family values at its core with the values permeating all aspects of the business where every member of staff lives and breathes their values, delivering magic moments to customers and their fellow colleagues.


"This business has come so far from the days when it started out as a single garage which is due to the incredible leadership, vision and ambition which has created a culture of empowerment and growth, all supported by family values, history and heritage. John is a fantastic ambassador for the family business sector, Yorkshire and the broader business community and thoroughly deserves his place in the Family Business Top 100."
