A HEREFORDSHIRE car dealer is celebrating its 70th anniversary.
Leominster Motors was founded by Derrick Grieveson in Worcester in 1953 and operated under the name of Worcester Carsales. The dealership then moved to a new city in the city 10 years later, with Mr Grieveson's son and managing director, Stuart Grieveson, joining the company in 1973.
During its 70 years of trading, the family-run business has seen three generations of the Grieveson family working for the firm, and to date, three of Mr Grieveson’s grandchildren work within the group.
