H.R. Owen

H.R. Owen is an illustrious name in the luxury automotive world, with a history dating back to 1932. Founded by Harold Rolfe Owen, the firm began its journey in Mayfair, London. Initially, the company was primarily involved in selling Bentley vehicles. Over time, H.R. Owen expanded its portfolio to include other prestigious marques, such as Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ferrari, and Aston Martin. Each addition to its list signaled a significant step in catering to connoisseurs of high-end automobiles.

In the 1950s, H.R. Owen embraced a broader spectrum of luxury, adding dealerships for Mercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo, reflecting the post-war boom in car ownership. The company's association with Rolls-Royce was particularly notable; by the 1960s, it had become one of the largest Rolls-Royce retailers in the world. H.R. Owen’s name was synonymous with the height of automotive luxury and sophistication.

The company underwent significant changes in ownership through the decades. In 1994, it was acquired by Malaya Group Plc, which further strengthened its foothold in the luxury car market. During the 2000s, under the stewardship of Berjaya Group, the company expanded yet again, refining its focus on service excellence and customer satisfaction.
