History

Group 1 was founded as a public corporation in 1997[8] with B. B. Hollingsworth[9] as Chairman and CEO. The founding dealership owners were [https://www.bobhoward.com Bob Howard] of Oklahoma City, [https://www.sterlingmccall.com/ Sterling McCall][10] and Kevin Whalen of Houston, and Charles Smith of Beaumont.[11]

Subsequent acquisitions in the USA include the [https://www.genemesser.com Gene Messer Automotive Group], Maxwell Auto Group, [https://www.iracars.com Ira Motor Group], Bohn Auto Group, Pat Peck Auto Group and [https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2820525 Miller Automotive Group]. 2018 Acquisitions include two dealerships in El Paso[12] and on 1st March 2018,

In March 2018 Group 1 completed their acquisition of 5 Mercedes-Benz and 3 smart dealerships from Robinsons Motor Group. These are based in Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Kings Lynn, Norwich and Peterborough.[13]

Group 1 acquired UK dealers from 2010 to 2017, including: Barons Group, Chandlers Group, Essex Audi Group, Elms Group, Think Ford, Spire Automotive and the Beadles Group.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

Group 1 purchased Brazilian automotive firm UAB Motors Participacoes S.A in 2013[21], renaming the entity as Group 1 Automotive Brasil in 2015. Professional race car driver André Ribeiro and his family of dealerships[22] were notable parts of this acquisition.

As of 2013, Group 1 became the third largest automotive retailer in the United States[23] and as of 2018 the company owns 163 dealerships in 15 states across the USA, 18 in Brazil and 60 in the UK.[24] Group 1 also operates 31 collision centers in the USA, Brazil and the UK.

In response to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Group 1 issued a $500 bonus to non-management dealership personnel[25]. CEO Earl Hesterberg noted, "This was an unusual opportunity to support the people who do the hard work without doing undue financial damage to the company."

Locations

In the USA, Group 1 Automotive has dealerships in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas. Their corporate headquarters is in the Memorial City district of Houston, Texas.[26][27]

Philanthropy

With individual dealerships engage in local philanthropic efforts often independent from the corporate office, Group 1 supports Houston-area causes focusing on community outreach and grade school education. Employees regularly make brown bag lunches to support Kids' Meals and donated cargo vans for their meals on wheels deliveries.

The company partnered with SEARCH Homeless Services and Junior Achievement of South East Texas for events[28], classroom mentoring and the [https://www.juniorachievement.org/web/ja-usa/ja-programs?p_p_id=56_INSTANCE_abcd&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=ja-maincontent&p_p_col_count=1&_56_INSTANCE_abcd_groupId=14516&_56_INSTANCE_abcd_articleId=581354 JA Company Program] in Spring Branch ISD. Starting in November 2017, Group 1 partnered with the Houston Independent School District to reward their Teacher of the Month recipients with a new vehicle to drive[29][30][31] for the month.

The Group 1 Foundation

The Group 1 Foundation[32] was initially created to support employees impacted by Hurricane Katrina, closely followed by Hurricane Rita. This tax-exempt charity gives all proceeds to help fellow employees in times of hardship. Examples include supporting survivors of fatal car accidents and a fire at an employee's home.

Subsequent natural disasters like the 2013 Moore Tornado, Super Storm Sandy, and Hurricane Harvey also marked the need for the Group 1 Foundation to assist their employees.
