Its+History

Set up in 1927 by Ian Morrison, Morrisons LTD it is now a thrid generation company run by Alan Morrison and his brothers. Originally there was two parts. One in Whins of Milton Stirling and the other was in town where Papa Joe's is now situated. They are set up in the secondry sector of business selling and repairing cars. Morrisons garage is a private limited company meaning only family and friends own shares in the business. Morrisons was starting out well as a new business until funds became low and people stopped buying cars forcing the second wrokshop in town to close.

The business was struggling but with the money the second premesis made they renivated and expanded the main worrkshop. They won the car retailer of central Scotland 3 years in a row which saw a major boost in sales and the number of employees was too small to deal with this. In 1941 the company supplied many thousands of gallons of petrol to the war which boosted their popularity and increased their prestige and people started to re-fuel there and buy cars.

When money was scarce they started buying peoples old car and selling them which saw sales increase because of these second hand cars being cheap than new ones. Ever since the company has been going strong with the new releases of land rover each year. In 2003 there was a Land Rover Event day up polmaise where people could drive the new Land Rover which incresed sales that month by around 70%.
