About Us
Forces Tax Free Car Sales was formed on January 01 2002. On a biting cold winter’s morning, typical of Paderborn and its high surrounding area, the rented van was quickly emptied and poured into the office container which, we soon realised was colder inside than the friendly -9 degrees outside. The company was quickly formed following the slow demise and, almost awaited decision from the owners of MCS (Military Car sales) to finally: “call it a day” and retire gracefully. Stewart J. Roy, the last MCS Sales Manager, with the assistance and support from his wife Val, rapidly made the move from the frozen north of Bergen-Hohne, to concentrate on the main troop area of Sennelager in Paderborn. Ideally situated, adjacent to the popular NAAFI Max complex, we soon realised the importance of the expression: “location, location, location.” Within weeks we were selling cars far beyond our true expectations and would soon become one of the major contributors to BFG and its various communities.
Two years of intense selling came and went and, despite the 2003 Gulf War dragging our troops away to contribute in saving the world of a tyrant - later to be deposed, we got on with the job in hand. Despite the interruptions, it was clear that we needed an additional salesman to cater for the increasing flow of customer enquiries and, ultimately, sell more motor cars. A suitable candidate was found which, undoubtedly, contributed to a successful 2004 with an increase in cars sold by 25%. To compliment the success in Sennelager, we had the opportunity to open a second office, ironically, back in Bergen-Hohne where we were so successful, and happy, under a previous employer. A week of interviews finally came up with a saleswoman who was under our noses the whole time. Needless to say, after a pressure-packed year- we were exhausted. A holiday in the Indian sun of Goa was duly booked and a hard earned rest followed. But, it wasn’t to stop there; lying in the sun, it became apparent that yet another salesman was required for 2005...... 2005 was an industrious year like the previous three; with yet another saleswoman joining us, a dedicated web master working www.forcescars.com suddenly, we were three times as many personnel than we started. As the pace increased and sales continued to improve throughout the year, things were about to change – beyond recognition. NATO cars, synonymous with BFG for over 20 years, were about to close their doors – for good. Within 3 months, they were gone, and we had taken over their Sennelager Showroom. The move was to prove pivotal in the on-going success story of Forces Tax Free Car Sales Predominately a Renault supplier, as the sales increased, so did the products we supplied: Ford; VW; Audi; Vauxhall all contributed to the increase in profile and the development of the new showroom environment.
2006 rolled into 2007 and, sales increased by another 20% with yet another salesman coming on board. As one of the few companies in Germany, capable of supplying cars literally within days of writing the order, we have become one of the major suppliers of cars to BFG with stock ready for immediate delivery - direct from either Paderborn or Bergen-Hohne. Whether it’s Renault, Ford or Audi we always have stock for immediate delivery. In October 2007 we moved again to cater for the increase in sales. This time, a long term investment was made to BFG and the Paderborn Garrison, with a new, purpose built Showroom; bigger than the previous showroom with better facilities, for insurance: TFI (The Forces Insurance) & Allianz are both prominent within the friendly comfortable environment.
The pinnacle of our success story has been the recent appointment by AUDI UK, as their sole agent and supplier of their products to BFG - again, with stock vehicles ready for immediate delivery – right here in Germany. The new showroom has proven to be the ideal facility to sell one of the worlds most prestigious products. Call us for a consultation and – a test drive.
