JCT600 has climbed an impressive 12 places to secure 13th place in the Yorkshire Insider Top 500 Companies 2025 list, up from 25th in 2024. To be ranked alongside some of the UK's most successful businesses is an honour, and to move up 12 places in just one year reflects the incredible efforts of our colleagues, the loyalty of our customers, and the strength of the partnerships we've built with the world's leading automotive brands. Insider Media's Top 500 is a regional ranking that highlights the largest and most successful businesses based on the latest turnover figures. It recognises the leading companies across various UK regions, using verified financial data. For almost 80 years, JCT600 has been a family business built on trust, care, and putting people first. To see that approach recognised on such a scale shows that those values are just as relevant today as they were when we first started. Our Executive Chairman, John Tordoff, said: "In a turbulent market, we've stayed true to our values and focused on what we do best - providing an outstanding experience for our customers and partners alike. We know this achievement is only possible because of our customers and colleagues, so thank you. We're excited to keep building on this momentum and continuing to make JCT600 a name people can be proud to be part of."
A Summer of Celebration at JCT600 This summer, we’ve been celebrating the hard work and dedication of our teams with a season full of recognition, team spirit and plenty of treats. From sizzling BBQs to surprise ice cream vans and local food vendors visiting our dealerships, the celebrations have been a brilliant way to come together and say thank you for everyone’s ongoing commitment and success. A real highlight has been recognising the winners of the JCT600 Leagues, such as the Workshop Control League, which showcased outstanding performance across our sites. Alongside team achievements, we’ve also taken time to celebrate long service milestones and birthdays - marking the moments that make JCT600 not just a place to work, but a family to be part of. As John Tordoff put it: “Our colleagues are at the heart of everything we do. Taking time to celebrate successes, milestones and achievements is an important way to show our appreciation for their hard work and dedication.” And as summer continues, so will the celebrations across the JCT600 network - with more opportunities to recognise the wins, big and small, that drive us forward together.
JCT600 Backs 'Who Inspires Me?' Campaign to Celebrate Women in Automotive JCT600 is once again proud to support the Automotive 30% Club’s annual ‘Who Inspires Me?’ campaign - an initiative that shines a light on the incredible women making a difference in the automotive industry. As a long-standing member of the Automotive 30% Club, JCT600 is committed to improving gender balance across the sector. The Club’s mission is to achieve at least 30% of key leadership roles held by women, and JCT600 is fully aligned with this goal. Supporting the 'Who Inspires Me?' campaign is just one of the ways we work towards a more inclusive and representative workplace. Each year, colleagues across the business are invited to nominate the women who inspire them - those who have led by example, offered support and mentorship, or simply made a lasting impact through their dedication and professionalism. These heartfelt nominations not only recognise the brilliant work of women within JCT600 but also contribute to the wider Inspiring Automotive Women Awards, organised by the Automotive 30% Club. People Director, Tracey Newton, said: “This campaign is a great opportunity to celebrate the many inspiring women across our business. It’s important that we continue to recognise and elevate female talent at every level of our organisation.” With this year's campaign underway, we've had the pleasure of sharing some incredible nominations to support a more diverse future for the automotive industry!

Mental Health Spotlight: Walk & Talk With JCT600! In May, JCT600 colleagues, families, friends, and even a few four-legged companions came together for our annual Walk & Talk events. With a brilliant turnout across all locations, it was great to see everyone taking time to connect, catch up, and support one another. At JCT600, we believe that mental health and wellbeing should be a priority every day of the year—not just during Mental Health Awareness Week. That’s why we’ve implemented a range of initiatives to support our colleagues’ mental and emotional wellbeing. These include dedicated mental health training, access to trained Mental Health First Aiders, our confidential ‘Need to Talk’ scheme, enhanced holiday entitlements, improved maternity and paternity support, and a strong partnership with our industry charity, Ben, to ensure help is available when it’s needed most. A huge thank you to everyone who joined in or helped bring our Walk n Talk events to life. Same time next year? We think so!
