THE HISTORY OF HOLMAN
The History of Holman
From a single Ford dealership in New Jersey in 1924 to a global leader in automotive services with more than 6,000 employees, Holman has come a long way.
The Holman Tradition
From a single Ford dealership in New Jersey in 1924 to a global leader in automotive services with more than 6,000 employees, Holman has come a long way. But our goal is still the same: to provide the industry’s best automotive services by training, developing and rewarding exceptional employees. We want to earn each customer’s loyalty and exceed their expectations – and give back to everyone who supports our success. Through our leaders and employees, and through our corporate values, we continue this tradition today.
Mindy Reflects on Holman’s Founding Story
“The Holman story began in 1924 with a dream to build a family business and a vision to always do the right thing for our employees, our customers and our community. For nearly 100 years, we have held true to that commitment. Our collective actions have taken a firm place in our lives and work. We will continue to be guided by the core principles on which our company was founded: hiring and developing the most talented people, providing exceptional customer service and giving back to our communities.”
