Stefan Kadlubowski - Director

Stefan started in the car business when he was just eighteen years old, initially in London and then in the Canadian car market for 10 years based in Vancouver. Stefan returned to the UK in 1994 and very quickly rose through the ranks of Pendragon PLC (UK’s biggest car dealer group) running the UK's biggest Volvo and Mazda dealerships.

Stefan has won the Motor Trader Sales Manager of the Year award for Southern England in 1995 and 1996. Stefan was also Group Sales Trainer for the Pendragon group as well as Dealer Principal for a number of their franchises. Stefan left Pendragon in 1998 to set up MKG 3000 with his colleague James Maxfield. Since 1998 Stefan has also presented ITV 2 'Dealer's Choice' program as a resident expert, and has also written a regular column for the Dimbleby Press group as a Motoring Journalist.

Since achieving his Masters Degree at Loughborough University, Stefan has been invited to Lecture at a number of prominent Business Universities around the country.

Stefan interests are varied. He spends a lot of his free time Running, Clay pigeon shooting and fishing, however his absolute passion is skiing to the level of expert. Relishing a challenge, Stefan entered the 2009 Mazda London Triathlon completing the Olympic distance (1 miles swim in the Thames, 40km bike ride and 10km run) in under 3 hours.

Stefan lives in Teddington, West London with Angie and their 3 sons Daniel, Jack and Adam.

Stefan is very “Hands on” at the Dealership. He is always available and loves nothing more than talking with customers. This separates MKG3000 from the large PLC business that dominate the industry. The “Buck stops” with him! This attitude is how MKG3000 conducts business. Beating any genuine quote on the spot. No need to phone a manager to make a decision. If for any reason you are not happy – ask for Stefan.
