Sustainability & Environmental Policy

The Barnes Group is committed to environmental responsibility and sustainability.

All our franchises offer vehicles that are manufactured to the latest standards in environmental technology. All new vehicles conform to the EU standards for low emissions and fuel efficiency. All new vehicles are displayed with environmental details to view. Our workshops must conform with environmental waste regulations.

It is a requirement of the hazardous waste regulations that all our sites which generate hazardous waste are registered with the Environment Agency. The waste is legally stored and then disposed of via a professional agency. So, all our used oil filters, fuel filters, brake fluid, anti-freeze and batteries are disposed of correctly. You have no need to worry.

All mechanical parts removed during warranty repairs are sent back to the factory for assessment for fault. Thereafter they, and any other faulty or worn parts, are processed for re-furbishment, re-cycling or scrap metal, whichever is appropriate.

Our manufacturers' commitment to preserving the environment goes even further. They are working on even cleaner, alternative power sources, including zero-emission fuel cell technology for example. They have dramatically reduced manufacturing emissions, and all new models use more recycled materials and more recyclable parts than ever before.

Our offices recycle paper and cardboard and we are working towards 'greener' communication with you, our customers. We hope to use e-mail & SMS text much more in the future, to communicate to you our service reminders, offers and new vehicle launches.

Company Info

Financial Disclosure

F G Barnes & Sons Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F G Barnes & Sons Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required
