Celebrating 80 Years of John Darke Ltd
In 2026, John Darke Ltd proudly celebrates 80 years of trading, marking a major milestone in our history and in the communities we serve.

Founded in 1946, John Darke Ltd has grown from its early beginnings into a trusted name in fuel sales, car sales and vehicle repairs. For eight decades, we have remained committed to providing reliable service, honest advice, and quality workmanship to generations of customers.

Our longevity is built on strong values:

  • A dedication to customer service
  • Skilled, knowledgeable staff
  • Continual investment in our facilities and expertise
  • An unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and value

Over the years, the motor industry has changed dramatically — from classic cars to modern vehicles, evolving fuels, and advanced repair technology. Throughout it all, John Darke Ltd has adapted while staying true to the principles on which the business was founded.

We are incredibly grateful to our loyal customers, past and present, as well as to the staff and partners who have helped shape our journey. This milestone is as much yours as it is ours.

As we celebrate 80 years of trading, we look forward to continuing to serve our customers for many years to come, with the same care, professionalism, and commitment that has defined John Darke Ltd since 1946.

Thank you for being part of our story.
