About Us

After months of planning, this month saw the John Roe team travel out to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales to tackle the popular Three Peaks challenge. 

Testing endurance, the challenge was accepted by Tom Roe (Managing Director), Steve Kelly (Operations Director), Chris Penny (Fleet Specialist), Chris Sowerby (Senior Sales Advisor), Gary Neve (Lexus Dealer Principle) and Colin Fisher (Customer). The John Roe Group has recently welcomed Chris Penny to the family and the Three Peaks was the perfect opportunity to bond as a team and put everyone through their paces.

Known for its ability to handle all kinds of tough terrain – including the North Pole, South Pole and the Dakar Rally – Hilux has been the go-to vehicle if you’re in the market for a powerful workhorse.

Its indestructible reputation has been built over seven generations of constant development and testing in the harshest of topographies. From navigating treacherous icy ridges to entering an active volcano – the boundaries of impossibility keep on being pushed. 

To understand the full legend though, we first need to delve back to where it all began…

With temperatures set to reach an all-time high again millions of families across the UK are hopping in their cars ready for a fun filled summer, whether this is a trip down to the beach in your Toyota Pirus+ or a long haul adventure in your C-HR, John Roe is here to provide you with the best tips for driving about this summer!

Interested in test driving the Toyota Yaris GRMN? You’re in luck as our Scunthorpe dealership is showcasing the limited edition hot hatch and it’s waiting for you to take it out on a test drive.

History of the GRMN

GRMN stands for “Gazoo Racing: Masters of Nürburgring” which refers to the race team that’s won a number of races at Germany’s demanding Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack. The first GRMN model was introduced back in 2009 with the iQ GRMN & GRMN Supercharger and since then each model sold out quickly.

Key features

Toyota has announced its win of the Green Fleet Manufacturer at the Fleet News Awards, which shows “commitment” to improve environmental performance.

Presented at a ceremony in London this week, Toyota has said the honour reflects the company’s “commitment to constant improvement in the environmental performance not just of its vehicles, but every aspect of its worldwide business”.

The judges said: “Toyota’s commitment to environmental issues has been frequently dismissed over the years but the company was brave and stuck to its guns. It was the right thing to do.

The Metropolitan Police Service is set to team up with the Toyota Mirai to help create the world’s largest fleet of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric police vehicles.

The first of 11 cars have been delivered to the Met with support from the FCHJU* grants programme and are equipped to work as both marked and unmarked vehicles for overt and covert response, as well as general purpose use.
