A Marriage of traditional family values to the very latest technical advances provides the key to the enduring and increasing success of the family run business in Herefordshire. The picturesque black-and-white building provides little hint of the expertise and skill offered by the seven-strong team to an ever-growing number of Herefordshire's drivers. Markhams Garage has been an integral element of village life for some 90 years, started in the 1920s by Maurice and Percy Markham and enjoying a huge boom during the war years, providing, among other things, a 24-hour taxi service for the troops stationed locally. Bryan Markham, who has recently decided to hand over the running of the business to the next generation, joined the family firm in the mid- 60s and embarked on a programme of modernisation and development. Today, Markhams continues to enjoy a great reputation for the quality of its servicing, MOTs and repairs, a reputation that brings not only repeat business, but a steady growth in new business. The continued commitment to the best service and customer care now lies in the hands of Bryan's daughter, Lisa Juson, step-son Tavey Cameron-Swan and Simon Powney. Out with the old and in with the new can often mean change for change's sake, but staff at Markhams know the value of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!", whether it relates to the vehicles they maintain or the business they're running. Our main plan is to continue doing what we do best. We take great pride in business and in keeping our customers happy.
