In 1969 the Riddy and Grimes families purchased Cranfield Garage. The name was changed to RGR and the business was moved from agricultural and industrial to sales and repair of cars and vans.

In the early 1970's the Ford franchise was acquired, with this the business started to expand. The service department was moved to Mill Road, Cranfield allowing for a bigger showroom to be built at the High Street site. In 1998 the service department moved back to the High Street into a brand new purpose built workshop.
