John, James, Richard and Kieran The Collins family has been serving the local community for almost 40 years There can’t be many family businesses more ‘family’ than Collins Motors. Operating from the same Trussley Road site since 1980, there are three generations working together. ‘We’re really proud of that,’ smiles John Collins. ‘I started the garage with my dad Sean.
