Meet the Team
Jimmy's father opened the Sidney Jackson & Son business in 1920 selling and maintaining tractors. Jimmy then realised that to move with the times they needed to sell cars. After speaking to his father, only one brand came to mind and that was Ford! So, in the summer of 1955 Sidney Jackson & Son Ltd was rebranded as a Ford Retail Dealer.
Jimmy sadly passed away in April 2014 at the age of 85. However, his drive, ethics and customer service values are still the main focus of the company today and we know he would be exceptionally proud that his son Tim, and now grandson George, are part of the business.
Thelma took hold of the reins when Jimmy passed away. She was at Jimmys side for over 47 years. In 2013, Thelma who represented the Prestbury Ward on Macclesfield Borough Council from 1999 to 2007, was recognised for services to the communities in Prestbury, Macclesfield and East Cheshire spanning 40 years which earned her an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.
Thelma is at the dealership every day to check that the team is meeting the high standards we are known for. She is very proud of what her team achieves daily. She loves to hear about customer experiences while out in Prestbury and the surrounding areas.
Timothy (Tim) is the Managing Director for Sidney Jackson & Son and worked alongside his father since he left school.
Tim has taken over from his Father, Jimmy, as the face of the company. Tim makes sure that your car is having the correct service and repair completed while it’s in our workshop. Tim also ensures that your used car is prepared to the very highest standard! He is the last person to touch any vehicle before it leaves the dealership with its new owner!
