About company
It was 1921 - the beginning of the garage trade in England and the beginning of the history of the Sykes-Pickavant company. Jack Pickavant saw the opportunities opening up in connection with the development of the garage trade, and created the company J.W. Pickavant & Co Ltd to sell accessories, spare parts and tools for cars. Joe Sykes also joined the company as its first salesman, who called garages and engineering workshops. By the end of the twenties, Pickavant had firmly entered the field of production of maintenance tools, as mechanics faced the problem of repairing and servicing more complex cars and trucks. This enabled Pickavant to create new tools for fast and efficient execution of these works.
In 1931, Joe Sykes left J.W. Pickavant & Co Ltd to start his own business as a distributor of tools under the Sykes brand. After the war, import rationing became the dominant factor, so J. F. Sykes also took the first steps in production and assembly. By 1950, Joe Sykes had set his sights on exports, and his first overseas markets were Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Mutual respect and trust reigned between the two companies, and they worked side by side in a spirit of friendly rivalry.
By the 1980s, forty percent of the company's business was exported. Sykes-Pickavant continued to grow and expand in Europe and Asia, visiting all major tool shows to present world-class products such as the 1500 series removable system and unique garage service tools. Participation in these exhibitions played an important role in the overall marketing policy.
The history of Sykes-Pickavant has established today's reputation as a supplier of high-quality, practical and time-saving products for the automotive industry and trade. Sykes-Pickavant continues to offer solutions using unique and innovative products.
