About Employer

Haynes can trace its origins to 1790 when the business was founded as an ironmongery and general store in the Edgware Road, London (now the site of the Metropole Hotel). In 1832 William Haynes took the two or three-day journey to Maidstone and went into partnership with John Gurney who had acquired an ironmongery business in 1817 on the corner of Week Street and Kings Street in Maidstone, which had been known to be trading there since 1771. Since 2000 the Company has expanded significantly. As well as opening new branches, it has also taken over the assets and trade of the businesses of Invicta Trucks in Kent and the long-established family agricultural machinery business of Oakes Bros Limited, with branches in Hampshire, Berkshire, and West Sussex. Today the Company operates from sites in Winchester, Newbury, Horsham, Uckfield, Wrotham Heath, Great Chart, Birchington, Sheerness, Ashford, and Canterbury, with its Head Office, Ford Transit-Centre, Accident Repair Centre, and upgraded FordStore showroom situated on an expanded 5-acre site at Ashford Road in Maidstone.
