Peter Lockley

The proprietor who decided that he believed so strongly in the Saab cars that he set up the business to promote and support its use. He ensures that the informal atmosphere yet professional team can accommodate the changing needs of the Customers and cars. His association and reputation with the SAAB marque is respected across the country.

Graham Davies

Graham was hooked when, in 1968, his father purchased the families first (of 12) Saab from Blacon motors. His ardent following of the marque led him to Peter Lockley and with the new premises on the horizon an increase in workforce to follow, Graham joined the company in 1984 in time for the relocation.

He has owned a number of Saabs and successfully competed in rally and motor cross events. With 16 years of Saab experience together with his customer awareness Graham is equally at home maintaining the cars or sourcing parts and refurbishing the now 'classic' 96's.

Harry Micklethwaite

Harry, on the other hand, 'changed camps' - he began his technicians career with Mercedes Benz but in 1971 changed from German to Swedish and joined Blacon Motors as a Saab technician. Harry has remained loyal to Saab for 29 years. Following the closure of Blacon Motors Harry joined the Higher Oak team in 1994.

These senior technicians have each had a long association with Saab.

Cedric Cole - RETIRED February 2008

'Chester's Mr Saab' who brought with him Saab knowledge and experience spanning 40 years. Commencing in 1967 with the first Saab dealership in Chester, Cedric in his role as general and sales manager has probably been involved with the sale of every new Saab in Chester and after such a long and uninterrupted Saab career hundreds of customers have remained loyal to him and Saab. We thank him for his valuable support whilst at Higher Oak Garage.
