At Derek Slack Motors, we are proud of our long
history serving Middlesbrough and the North East. As a family business with 43
years behind us, we know the value of staying true to our roots and committing
to serving the local community.
We also know the importance of looking to
the future, being open to change and evolving as a business. Derek Slack did
not start out selling vehicles, but as a mechanic working from a small rented
workshop. From this point, Derek Slack gained experience and a reputation for
working with many different makes and began dealing auto parts and eventually,
vehicles.
More than 20 years ago, we became agents
for Skoda in Teesside. This allowed us to grow, with demand for Skoda, making
us the dealers we are today – providing the North with new and used SKODA
vehicles longer than anywhere else.
We are currently in the midst of a 5 year expansion
plan following a period of record sales. Our rapid growth and strong
performance even led to recognition from the London Stock Exchange as one of
‘1000 Businesses to Inspire Britain’ earlier this year.
If you’ve visited recently, you’ll notice the
builders and diggers are in working on our new showroom. It is a complete
revamp that will leave it looking like a whole new building. To make space, for
the builders we’ve put together some very tempting offers on all our pre-owned
stock which has kept our sales team busier than ever. So if you’re still in the
market for a new SKODA or an approved used vehicle you know where to come.
We are making progress every day – the
glass is already in – and it is almost ready to debut.
We can’t wait for you to see it!
