Grabbing the attention

IF the unusual name doesn’t capture the attention, the excellent service and family values of Titty Ho Motor Company certainly will.

Named after the street alongside the Raunds garage, the company was purchased by the Porter family in 1991 to expand its already established business, Thrapston Garage.

At the heart of the business is a busy workshop and MOT station, as well as a fuel station and a busy used-car operation. In charge of buying the hand-picked stock is Mark Porter, a director of the company along with his parents Hugh and Eileen, and brother Sean who is director of Thrapston Garage.

Mark spends five days a week buying stock for both sites, putting to good use all the experience he has gained since he started in the business at the age of 16.

In charge of sales at Titty Ho Motor Company is James Hall, who works alongside Ben Trelawny to deliver the firm’s excellent service, from first enquiry through to sale and after-sales services.

Mark said: “We retail in excess of 600 used cars a year, which is punching above our weight for a business of this size. We supply anything from family cars to the more exotic, including classic models and modern sports cars from the likes of Porsche and Lotus.

“Whatever customers are looking for, we insist on offering the same family values and excellent service and that is what has helped the firm thrive over the past few years, especially in those times when others might have struggled.

“We have a huge number of repeat customers, which tells us that we’re doing something right, and for any routine maintenance or repairs, we’ve got well-trained mechanics and excellent workshops to make sure the cars are back on the road in the shortest possible time.”

From its base in Raunds, Titty Ho Motor Company is handily placed for customers from across the county and further afield, close to the A14, M1, M6 and M5.
