Why we sponsor locally
Our Chairman, Andrew Turner MBE, grew up above his parents' greengrocer's shop in Blackburn and started this business in 1989. Our first Nissan dealership opened on Ackhurst Road in Chorley in 1994, and it's still our head office.
Our clients, our colleagues and our families all live here. So we keep our support close to home and long term: clubs and charities in the towns where we have showrooms, backed for years rather than for a season.
In 2019 Andrew was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours for services to the local community.

Chorley Group x Chorley FC
Chorley FC plays at Victory Park, a few minutes from our head office. We've backed the Magpies since 2010, and the partnership has gone well beyond a board by the pitch:
- Stadium naming rights. From 2020/21 until the end of 2023/24, the ground was the Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium.
- A famous FA Cup run. We were shirt sponsors for the televised fourth-round tie against Wolves.
- Vehicles and youth football. We've provided club vehicles and supported the youth team.
- Still a club sponsor, renewed for the 2025/26 season.
"We are proud to continue supporting the Chorley FC team and keep our local community ties strong."
Adam Turner, Managing Director
Chorley Group x Inspire Chorley Youth Zone
Inspire is Chorley's youth centre, a charity giving young people aged 8 to 19 (and up to 25 for those with additional needs) somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to. It opened on 5 May 2018 and is part of the OnSide Youth Zones network.
Chorley Group became Inspire's first Founder Patron, pledging £75,000 over three years to help get the £4.8 million centre up and running. Since then we've:
- Sponsored the sports kits Inspire's teams wear against other Youth Zones
- Donated a minibus for trips, events and tournaments
- Climbed a mountain for it. In October 2019, aged 59, Andrew trekked to Everest Base Camp and raised £59,000, more than twice his £25,000 target.
"The first time our football team saw the kits, they were absolutely ecstatic."
Ryan Powell, Youth Work Manager, Inspire
Chorley Group x SpudBros: one Isuzu D-Max V-Cross, 300 potatoes
In July 2025, two of our team went to SpudBros for 300 loaded potatoes to feed their colleagues, and realised they'd forgotten their wallets. So they paid with what they had: the keys to a brand-new, top-of-the-range Isuzu D-Max V-Cross, wrapped in SpudBros branding.
The video of the swap passed 1.2 million views on TikTok, and the truck now helps SpudBros take their famous tater tram on the road.
"We are very excited to announce our collaboration with SpudBros."
Adam Turner, Managing Director, Chorley Group
Looking after key workers
When COVID closed showrooms in March 2020, we cut servicing and repair costs by 50% for NHS staff and kept our workshops open.
