JCT600 chief executive John Tordoff 'has faith in the future'

Son of Jack Tordoff, the founder of JCT600 and a keen rally driver, and father of Sam Tordoff, who drives in the British Touring Car Championships, John admits that he once actively avoided involvement in his father’s business.

In stark contrast to older brother Ian, now the director in charge of JCT600’s Trade Vehicles Division, who readily asserted, “I hated school – all I wanted to do was come and work in the garage”, the group’s current chief executive admitted to AM: “I spent the first 24 years of my life having little or no interest in the business. It didn’t excite me, it didn’t interest me, it didn’t really do anything for me if I’m being honest – but one thing I always had was an interest in business.”
