Philip Jones has been involved with motor cars for all his working life.

After an early Technical Apprenticeship, Philip found his forte in sales with Mann Egerton, part of the Inchcape Group. The Group recognised his abilities with early promotion to Sales Management at their branch in Wallington, South London. At the time of his appointment, he was the youngest ever Sales Manager in the Group, and it wasn’t long before he was their youngest event General Manager having taken overall management responsibility for the entire branch.

These were years that gave Philip a strong business management foundation and he was recognised for his outstanding ability in the new and used car markets, especially with high value and performance cars.

It was no surprise to anyone who knew him when he went into business for himself and within eighteen months he had acquired the freehold of a Sutton car dealership, Byron Garages. It provided a great platform for Philip’s growing specialisation in the Aston Martin marque.

The garage is long gone, but the name remains as does the passion for Aston Martin. The business has evolved into a brokerage and with that business now in its third decade, there are hundreds of Aston Martin owners who have benefited from the expertise and service that Philip has developed.
