McCarthy – 100 years on and still true to our values

McCarthy celebrates its centenary this year. Our company has a colourful history, which includes two World Wars, a number of economic highs and lows and the Great Depression, but throughout the years a strong set of values and a focus on people have served as important cornerstones in our business, which started out as a family business.

Today, 100 years on, our company is one of the leading motor retailers in South Africa and we are a proud member of Bidvest, yet we still see ourselves as a family business and we try and live according to solid “family” values.

At McCarthy, our people are not numbers and their contribution is acknowledged. Our customers are all important and we strive to delight them at every interaction with us. We care about the communities we serve, and pride ourselves in our extensive training and development programmes.

Our buildings are merely a venue from which to serve our customers, but the bricks and mortar play a small role in our business. It’s the people that are important to us: what they do, and how they treat our valuable customers.

Thank you for choosing McCarthy!
