FJ Chalke, a family owned business since 1929

Originally established by Frederick James Chalke in the village of Mere. A small town and civil parish in Wiltshire, Mere lies at the extreme southwestern tip of Salisbury Plain, close to the borders of Somerset and Dorset.

Since 1929, the family business has passed through the generations and still features family members James, grandson of the original FJ Chalke and George Chalke, James’ son.

With showrooms throughout Somerset and with Jeep coming on board in 2021 we now have seven franchises, the company continues to grow and grow. We’ve made some big changes over the last 90 years, from the buildings we work in, to the brands we partner with and the next stage of our exciting journey is now complete - our multi-million-pound flagship Kia & Nissan showroom at Fusion Park, West Hendford.

In 2019 we celebrated our 90th birthday year and we are looking forward to many more!
