Our Story
Volkswagen Durham - 1998
We are tremendously proud to be the only family owned Volkswagen retailer in the North East.
First launched in Durham 1998, we moved into our prime Durham location – Abbey Road – in
2000 where the head office now employs over 80 members of staff. Home to the fantastic and unique Café Dafte.
Pulman became the first Volkswagen retailer in the UK to have a café in their showroom. Our family owned business
has since grown to become a Top Ten Volkswagen and SEAT retailer.
Volkswagen Sunderland - 2008
Pulman opened a second Volkswagen site in Sunderland in 2008 which was later refurbished to
a fantastic 10 car digital showroom. There are currently 42 members of staff based at our
Sunderland site, with many being part of the Pulman family since day one! In 2014 we also became a SKODA authorised
service repairer. We have been in Sunderland for nearly 10 years and we love supporting the city. Since Pulman took
over we have created fantastic partnerships with South Shields Football Club, SunFM and Sunderland2021.
SEAT Sunderland - 2010
On Tuesday 2nd of August 2010 Pulman launched Pulman SEAT. Formerly known as Alexandra Bridge Cars –
one of the oldest SEAT dealers in the county – we are proud to celebrate the fact that we were among
the handful of dealerships that helped launch SEAT UK a quarter of a century ago. A lot has changed
since Pulman took over, including winning ‘Dealer of the Year’ in 2011 & 2012, Motorcodes ‘Best
Garage for the North East’, and more recently ‘Best New Car Sales Team’ in 2016.
SKODA Durham - 2014
We have come a long way since we opened our SKODA site in 2014. Our purpose-built SKODA showroom
in Durham opened in 2016. This state-of-the-art showroom represents a £3 million investment from
Pulman, and now has 44 members of staff. Nestled in our showroom is our very own Café Dafte
offering breakfast, lunch and cake menu that is all freshly prepared on site. In 2016 we
became a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle retailer and in 2017 we were crowned ‘New Car Retailer’ of
the year.
