    The Donalds Garage Group is one of East Anglia's longest serving car dealerships with four locations and eight franchises throughout the region, representing four Mazda sites, two Kia, Volvo and MG dealerships. We are part of the Central Garage Group of Companies, a group of franchised and non-franchised dealerships who sell and maintain cars and motorbikes. In 2022 Central Garage Group works with 12 franchises in 7 locations with 18 franchise outlets. The group is privately owned by the Hamblin family, which was originally founded by Bob Stanley Hamblin post WW2. Their Uppingham site is the original dealership Bob left to his son Peter, who then went on to grow the company over the decades changing the automotive focus from haulage to cars and motorbikes. Peter's daughter Sam joined the company in the late 1990s and took over the reins in 2015.
