Meet the Team

JOHN MAIR - THE ORIGINAL VAN MAN
John moved to the site with his wife Pauline in 1971. At that time, Burmah were serving petrol here on the very busy A130. After selling cars here for many years, John started a long-lasting relationship with British Telecom.We bought and sold over 5,000 vans from BT over the space of 20 years. We now continue to buy and sell quality low mileage vans and a variety of other specialised vehicles.John is hoping to retire very soon at the ripe age of 75 but anyone who knows him, knows this will never happen!!! John is normally seen wandering around somewhere on the site but if you can't find him, he probably be in The Bell pub next door!

JANE MAIR
Jane, John's daughter, has worked at Rettendon Car Sales for 20 years. After 6 years working in a Japanese Bank in London, Jane decided that she would like to help her Dad in the family business. She has since got married and had 2 children and with the great help of grandparents, has been able to carry on working and doing the job she loves.Jane generally deals with all the paperwork, sells vans here and there and spends most of her time advertising the vans. Jane will continue the family business which has been going now for 60 years with the help of her brother Simon.

SIMON MAIR
Simon, John's son, has been involved for short spells with the family business over the years but has been a permanent fixture for the last 14 years,(with a year out in Slovakia with his future bride).Sales, valeting, buying, driving and hiding in the workshop are his duties.
