Hitchfields Ltd named Eaton Smith’s Business of the Month

Eaton Smith Solicitors has announced that Hitchfields Ltd has been chosen by the judging panel as the latest winner of the Business of the Month award.

Hitchfields is one of West Yorkshire’s largest independent used car dealers and has a wide and varied range of over 100 vehicles in stock. They aim to use over ten years of experience in the automotive trade to provide both an optimized and personal service to help customers purchase vehicles as easily and stress-free as possible.

The business started in director Kristian Hitchen’s driveway with a car and a post on a Facebook car sales group. Over time the business grew and expanded to a facility in Lockwood on the edge of Huddersfield town centre, capable of housing north of 30 vehicles. Six months ago, Hitchfields moved into a new and larger facility capable of accommodating 100 cars, making them one of the largest indoor showrooms and independent dealers in West Yorkshire.

Kristian Hitchen, Director of Hitchfields, commented: “We are truly honored to win this award and to have our growth and contributions recognized by the team at Eaton Smith. We thank the judges for choosing us and we hope this is the first of many awards to come as a new business emerging in the Kirklees area.”

Ben Jackson, Partner at Eaton Smith Solicitors and member of the judging panel said: “Hitchfields Ltd has seen impressive growth from a road business to one of West Yorkshire’s largest interior showrooms and independent car dealers. The business was also recognized for its investment in its apprenticeship scheme, local employment and its plans for further growth to be one of the UK’s largest independent car dealers.”

Ben Jackson chaired the judging panel and was joined by James White (Belong), Martin Hathaway (Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce) and Annie Bradley (Department for International Trade).
