Parry's Garage: Rushgreen Road

Parry's Garage was such a well known family business, serving the local community for more than fifty years, closing in March 2014.   Lymm Life (March 2014) reported how 'The Parry Family' had moved into Rushgreen Service Station at Lymm in April 1965 with a haulage business, developing it over 49 years.

Ann Scales and with her brother John Parry, had been the faces of the business for many years and witnessed many changes within that time.  Ann said,  “We went Self Service in the mid 1980s and have always given personal service. We have served the local community and been a community hub for information and assistance.”  John also added, “In 1965, 1 gallon of petrol was 4s 10 1/2d – Now it’s £6.00 a Gallon!”

Mot & Servicing had been carried out by staff who have been with at the garage since leaving School with David Hipperson and Barry Jolley providing 39 and 38 years loyal service.  Ann noted  “We would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication . We have been like a family working together".

Thanks also went to Joel, Chloe, Sarah and Connor Ellerton-Baines and Tom Bracegirdle who had all worked at the garage from age 16 years  and to the  ‘loyal’ customers and the building of many friendships.  Ann also added  “We have supported many local charities, churches and schools over the years selling tickets and we are sorry that another Lymm village family business has to close".  Especially, “We would also like to thank Gary and team at Lymm Life for  their support for the Village.
“Please try to Support Local Business whenever possible – use it or lose it!,” she added.
