Bowker MINI renews vehicle partnership with Stones Young

Bowker MINI has supplied four new electric MINIs to Blackburn-based estate agency Stones Young as part of a renewed partnership promoting sustainable travel for local property viewings.

The delivery of the bright yellow MINI Electric models marks the latest step in an ongoing collaboration between the two Lancashire businesses.

Each vehicle has been dual-branded with the Stones Young and Bowker MINI logos and will be used by the agency’s team to travel to and from appointments across the region.

Stones Young Sales and Lettings, based on Whalley New Road, Blackburn and Moor Lane, Clitheroe, was established in 2004 and provides both property sales and lettings services across Lancashire.

The company has won Gold Awards at the EA Masters for the last two years placing them in the top three per cent of estate agents in the country.

Rachael Stones, director at Stones Young, said: “The new electric MINIs are an ideal fit for our team. We spend a lot of time on the road, and these vehicles offer a fun, sustainable way for us to travel. They also provide the added bonus of increasing our brand visibility wherever we go.

Phil Young, director at Stones Young, added: “The new electric MINIs are perfect for us. We spend a lot of time on the road, and these cars are a fun and sustainable way for our team to get around. It’s great that they stand out too – everyone will know who we are when we turn up in one!”

Bowker MINI in Blackburn is part of the Bowker Motor Group, a family-owned business founded in 1919. The group has continued to expand its support for local businesses with electric vehicle solutions, in line with wider environmental initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions from company fleets.

Michael Duckett, business development manager at Bowker MINI in Blackburn, said: “It’s always great working with the Stones Young team. They’re well known across the area, and to see their name on a fleet of electric MINIs is a great match.

"More and more local businesses are switching to electric, and this is a good example of how sustainable motoring can work for our corporate clients.”

The partnership reflects a broader trend among Lancashire businesses adopting electric vehicles to reduce emissions and lower operating costs. Bowker MINI continues to offer tailored support for fleet customers exploring electric mobility.
