Jepson & Co: making number plates work for you for (almost) 130 years

Date: Thursday 01 February 2024

As Jepson & Co proudly marks a fantastic 130-year journey in the automotive industry, the company takes a moment to reflect on its remarkable history while eagerly looking forward to a future filled with even more innovation and growth. This significant milestone is a fantastic opportunity to thank our valued partners, loyal customers, and our amazing team, all while anticipating the exciting developments that lie ahead.

Our Long-standing Commitment to Motor Factors

Jepson & Co has always been about building strong partnerships and delivering top-notch service, especially to our motor factor colleagues, many of whom have been with us for over a decade.

"When I think about how we've grown from hand-painting numbers on colliery wagons to a £20 million business supplying over 20% of the market, it's been quite a journey. And we've remained a family company right here in Sheffield," says Peter Jepson, Chairman of Jepson & Co and the great-grandson of our founder, George Henry Jepson.

These lasting partnerships and the awards we've received over the years are a reflection of our dedication to excellence and innovation. Our customers' satisfaction means the world to us, and we rank among the top 5 for B2B satisfaction scores by the Institute of Customer Service, with a Net Promoter Score about four times higher than the UK average. Our passionate team at Jepson & Co, who absolutely love number plate components and kits (because someone has to, right? 😊), have been the driving force behind our success.
