A new name. A bigger future. More for every customer.
Exciting times are ahead as Johnsons Cars and Brayleys come together under one new name: Athenea. By uniting our people, expertise and 21 leading automotive brands, we’re creating a stronger group with even more choice, more locations and more value for our customers.
The Athenea name will begin appearing across our locations during the first half of 2027, marking an exciting new chapter as we bring the best of both businesses together.
