Employer Description:

Armstrong Siddeley made motor cars, and many other products, from 1919 to 1960. As a car club, in 1972 we bought the entire rights to Armstrong Siddeley motor vehicles, including the spares parts operation. At this time, we became a Limited Company led by a board of professional, but volunteer directors.

We trade as Armstrong Siddeley and have successfully run this business for over 50 years. In 2022 we relocated to near Shrewsbury (SY4 1BP). The organisation has an international client base of mainly Armstrong Siddeley owners or garages working on such cars.

The spare parts business is supported by a Stores Director and a Remanufacturing Director, and the paid positions at our premises are also augmented by voluntary help from the car club membership.
