The History
P F Jones was formed on July 28th 1958 by Percy Frederick Jones and originally traded as a diesel engineering company which then progressed into the fuel injection market
The company operated from Cornbrook Road in Cornbrook from two buildings one was the engineering side and the other the fuel injection side. The company operated quite successfully until the recession hit the UK in the 1980’s and the three day week which unfortunately also affected P F Jones
A big decision had to be made by then the new managing director Raye Brooke who was Percy Jones’ daughter, that being to close the engineering side of P F Jones to try and save the company.
In 1986 Les Bailey was employed firstly as a workshop manager/director to try and change the fortunes of P F Jones and turn them back into a market leader in the diesel market. After two years Les Bailey managed to acquire a loan off Barclays Bank and decided to purchase the company outright from the current directors. This was a massive gamble considering he had three young children, a mortgage but the biggest plus and asset of all was his wife and mother of his children who believed in him, giving him 100% backing to take on the challenge of turning P F Jones back to a successful company.
After a couple of years P F Jones became a leading name in the fuel injection industry and started to outgrow their buildings and had to make a big decision to move premises just up the road to Nuttall Street in Old Trafford.
Shortly after their arrival in their new premises and after major alterations P F Jones then had to invest into the latest equipment to make sure they remained one of the market leaders in the fuel injection world.
P F Jones then went into distribution of other automotive parts to include batteries, headlamps, starter and alternators. P F Jones where very successful in this new venture which ended up them acquiring another locally family owned company which had been trading even longer than P F Jones. Atlas Auto who first opened their doors in 1949 and specialised in auto electrics and towbars.
Atlas were a small distributor of Witter towbars with an excellent reputation and still are the brand leader in towbars. P F Jones have never been frightened of embracing technology and decided to embrace the internet/ ebay marketplace, to reach out to the world and tell everyone who we are and what we stand for.
In 2013 we then had our quality own brands come onto the world market these are DIESEL JONES on the fuel injection side which includes diesel fuel pumps and diesel injectors and P F JONES TOWBARS which are manufactured by a leading tow bar manufactures. P F Jones are now the largest distributor of towbars in the UK and one of the leading quality suppliers of diesel fuel injection parts.
These are now leading and recognised brands throughout the world but the only reason these brands have been so successful are the quality, price and most importantly you the customer who have helped make P F Jones into a world leading brand by asking for and purchasing our brand over others.
