Desira Group Directors

John Desira MIMI Managing Director
Established Desira Group plc in 1972.
“I started in the Motor Trade in London, working as an Apprentice Technician and when qualified, I decided to start my own business. I was recommended a garage in Norfolk and 35 years later, I’m still here.  You can’t run a business on your own – you need a good team of people.  At Desira we have developed a very strong, young management team that has been with us for many years. Our employees are our biggest asset.”
