About Adam Purves
We are where we are thanks to generations of people understanding customer needs and providing them with great service. Throughout that journey, our teams have adapted, innovated, and diversified while making pragmatic and ultimately successful decisions.
As part of our continued evolution, Adam Purves has restructured to ensure a clear focus on the two core arms of our business: automotive and retail. This strategic approach allows us to strengthen our expertise, enhance customer service, and create long-term sustainability in both sectors.
We believe in empowering management and invite all our people to contribute and perform. In return, we want every member of our extended team to feel part of and enjoy a rewarding and inclusive working environment where they are fairly treated and have a vested interest in driving both themselves and the business forward toward consistently great performance.
