Manchetts Burwell Ltd

The Manchett group was originally founded in 1961 in the village of Burwell, just north of Newmarket, providing garage services for the local community. The current generation of owners came into the business at a management level in 1989 as the business expanded with the takeover of an additional local enterprise, Priory Garage. Two years later further expansion came with the addition of another local bodyshop, Patersons, in Newmarket. During 1994 the owners took the decision to move into the recovery arena from the original premises. As this business grew it became necessary to relocate the recovery operations to a dedicated site in 2001, a year later a separate commercial servicing centre was also opened so that foundations of the group as it is known today was formalised. 2010 saw the refurbishment and redevelopment of the original 1961 site to incorporate a convenience store.
