The History Behind Turnbulls.

Turnbulls started out as an independent Vauxhall dealer owned by Mr George Turnbull. Out of the ashes of World War II it grew rapidly and George saw the opportunity to expand into the vehicle radio market.

In 1956 Turnbulls started to retail and install radio into vehicles and in June 1957 it became a dealer for Radiomobile. The Radiomobile section of Turnbulls was operated out of Nissen hut on what is now the site of the Mayflower car park. George Turnbull sold up in the 1970's to Wincanton Motor Co so that he could retire. Wincanton then sold up to Arlington in the 1980's who in turn sold to LEX. Due to Motor Industry wrangling, LEX pulled out of Plymouth in 1995. Turnbulls current owner and MD saw it as an opportunity to continue the Company name and kept Turnbulls Radio alive. Turnbulls still operates out of Sutton Rd, Plymouth and continues to develop. Summer 2006 saw our 50th Birthday and some major changes...
