Our History
Barford Hire & Sales was started in 1986 by David Sorrell, who initially hired out used commercial vehicles while they were waiting to be sold. Over the years, we have grown to become one of the largest, modern, self-drive hire fleets of cars, vans, minibuses, and lorries in our region. Today, we are run by the Sorrell family and their spouses and offspring, along with a team of loyal, long-serving staff who share our passion for delivering exceptional customer service.
