Haynes Bros Ltd Selects Tekion's Automotive Retail Cloud AI to Modernise Operations

LONDON — Tekion, innovator of the first end-to-end, AI-native platform serving the entire automotive retail ecosystem, today announced its partnership with Haynes Automotive, a privately-owned automotive dealer group representing Ford, Changan, and Vauxhall in the South of England. Haynes Automotive is part of the wider family-owned dealer group, Haynes Bros Ltd, which was established in 1790.

Through Tekion's Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC), intelligent automation and real-time insights are embedded into every workflow, from customer engagement through service and finance. Haynes Automotive will do a full switch to ARC beginning December 1, 2026, at two locations in Maidstone and Canterbury. For multi-location, multi-brand operations like Haynes Group, this means eliminating fragmentation, getting real-time visibility across departments, and automated workflows that replace manual handoffs.

"What impressed us most was Tekion's attention to detail throughout the evaluation and implementation engagement process," said Marcus Nye, IT Director of the Haynes Group. "The team understood our operation, showed genuine diligence in understanding our requirements, and were transparent about what the platform can do and how it would change our day-to-day work."

"The Haynes Group represents the kind of dealer partner we're built for," said Rob Glenn, Chief Revenue Officer of Tekion. "They're thinking strategically about elevating their operations, they understand the real business value of unified data, intelligent systems and they're committed to building a modern retail operation."
