When it comes to reasons for celebration, anniversaries are up there with the best of them. And for Nottingham-based Porsche specialist, Cavendish Porscha, ten years in business is cause for rapturous applause, mirroring festivities in February 2013, when the firm took occupancy of its premises in Long Eaton. “Originally, I planned to trade from Cavendish Bridge, which is a small village straddling the River Trent between Shardlow and Castle Donington in Derbyshire,” says fifty-four-year-old Simon Petty, Cavendish Porscha’s founder and Managing Director. “Unfortunately, the deal for the workshops I’d agreed to occupy fell through at the last minute, meaning I had to find new premises. The company was already registered as Cavendish Porsche, a direct reference to the intended site of operation, but rather than start over, I decided to stick with the name, even after securing a workshop some five miles northeast of Cavendish Bridge.”
You might notice the spelling of the company name is now different to when Simon first opened for business,
