History

Sargeants Brothers started out back in the 1920's as Sargeants Motors Ltd, and was founded by Mr C.T Sargeant, with services based in Builth Wells and Kington. He passed the Builth operations on to A.M. and C.M. Higginbottom and the business in Kington passed onto his sons, Anthony and Keith in 1955, who adopted the title Sargeants Brothers. The business is now run by Michael and Huw Sargeant (Anthony and Keith's son's) who are actually cousins.
