Holman is a global automotive services company that is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Founded by Steward C. Holman in 1924, Holman began as a single Ford dealership in New Jersey. Since then, the business has experienced steady growth through three generations of family ownership. Today, Holman is one of the largest family-owned automotive services organizations in the world with more than 9,000 employees across North America, the U.K. and Germany. “One hundred years ago, my grandfather laid the foundation for our company when he opened Rice & Holman Ford with an emphasis on both customer care and community involvement,” said board Chair Mindy Holman. “As I reflect on this milestone, I’m incredibly grateful to our people, who are responsible not only for our growth and success but also for creating an exceptional organizational culture. I know dad and granddad would be equally proud.” Based in Mt. Laurel, the company provides a range of automotive services including fleet management; commercial vehicle equipment manufacturing; powertrain distribution and logistics services; insurance and risk management services; and retail automotive sales with 59 dealerships across nine states.
