Thurlow Nunn History

Thurlow Nunn is a long established family owned and managed group of companies operating throughout East Anglia.

The three main business divisions are Thurlow Nunn (JV) limited, a modern multi franchise Motor Group; Thurlow Nunn Standen Limited, a multi franchise agricultural machinery dealer which also encompases a specialist installation division (SID) which specialises in the supply and installation of specialist crop buildings; and Balsham Buildings Limited, a business that designs, manufactures and erects steel buildings. These businesses are all wholly owned by George Thurlow & Sons (Holdings) Limited.

John Thurlow is Chairman of George Thurlow & Sons (Holdings) Ltd. Even though John has now retired from his day to day responsibilities, he retains an active interest in all the Group Companies' affairs by regularly attending Head Office for an update and continuing to visit all sites at Christmas to wish as many members of staff as possible Season's Greetings and offer thanks for their hard work throughout the year. We work hard to retain the family feel of the business and indeed John believes this to be one of the Company's greatest strengths.

Obviously, much has changed since John's great Grandfather, George Thurlow, set up in business in Bury Street, Stowmarket, Suffolk in 1875 as an oil merchant and engineer but not the Company's core values which are: To apply our family values, in order to be the organisation of choice for our customers, employees and stakeholders.

'Thurlow Nunn' is a 'brand' name the family is immensely proud of and a name that is well established in East Anglia.

From these humble beginnings the Company moved into the supply of steam engines and threshing tackle in the early 1900's to become one of the country's leading distributors. As the company is family owned, many records and artefacts relating to the early days of trading have been passed from generation to generation. The Company's records have now been catalogued and lodged with the Bury St Edmunds records office for safekeeping as it is considered extremely rare for a company to have retained a record of every sale going back as far as 1890. The sales ledgers are handwritten and the Company still receives letters today from steam engine enthusiasts requesting sight of reference made to their particular engine.

From steam the company moved into agricultural machinery and is now one of the leading Massey-Ferguson distributors in Europe. Considerable growth has taken place since 1875. In 1968 John took over the running of the business following the death of his father and soon after put into place his development plans. In 1970 George Thurlow & Sons Ltd merged with their neighbouring Massey-Ferguson dealer F J Nunn to double the size of their business at the time and become Thurlow Nunn & Sons Ltd. In 1985 Thurlow Nunn & Sons Ltd purchased another Massey-Ferguson dealer, F A Standen & Son Ltd, then trading in the Cambridgeshire area, to become Thurlow Nunn Standen Ltd, again doubling the size of business.

Thurlow Nunn Standen continues to prosper and remains very much a family concern. John's son, James, now has responsibility for the day-to-day management of the agricultural business as Managing Director and John's daughter, Sally Tew, is Personnel Director. James and Sally are the fifth generation of the Thurlow family to become involved in the business and Jeremy Nunn continues the Nunn family's involvement.

We believe that being part of a traditional, family business gives our employees a sense of pride in the service we offer to our customers. We have a loyal and committed staff and feel immensely proud to have awarded in excess of 100, 25 year, long service awards.

In 1982 the Company purchased a small interest in a Vauxhall garage and this led to a major investment in the Vauxhall franchise now trading as Thurlow Nunn from eight Vauxhall garages in East Anglia located at Dereham, Fakenham, Holt, King's Lynn, Wisbech, Great Yarmouth, Diss and Beccles and a specialist Body Repair Centre also in Great Yarmouth. In addition to Vauxhall, Thurlow Nunn also operates a Toyota franchise at St Ives in Cambridgeshire, the Chevrolet franchise for the whole of Norfolk and the Saab franchise at Norwich and King's Lynn.

Balsham (Buildings) Ltd is also part of the Thurlow Nunn Group of Companies. They specialise in the design, fabrication & erection of steel framed buildings for both the agricultural & industrial markets. They have over 30 years experience in the market sector and continue to have a name associated to quality.

The Thurlow Nunn Group now employs c. 500 people, with an annual turnover in excess of £100 million, and operates from 14 sites throughout East Anglia in the supply of agricultural machinery and motor vehicles and the manufacture and erection of steel framed buildings.
