Whitten Brothers
What we do:
Whitten Brothers is a family-owned and -operated business that has grown alongside the greater Richmond community for over 90 years. With the fourth successive generation in management, we take great pride in fostering a friendly and straightforward environment in our car dealerships.
How Meadows Urquhart stepped into our shoes:
“Doug Urquhart is a friend. He pays attention to our growth, and what we’re doing as a family, and the family succession. He helped us navigate the tough choices we had to make during the mid-2000s, when we had major facility upgrade commitments to Chrysler that had to be completed by 2009, dead in the center of one of the worst retail markets we have experienced. Doug and his firm helped guide us through the best path for capturing the most tax-advantaged position possible , which eased the pain of cash flow and helped with profitability. We made through the worst time by getting the best advice.
In 2012, we turned over all the stock and business property to a trust for the kids. That was all Doug — he brought the program to us, and getting it done was the right thing to do. I’m looking forward to stepping back and putting on my favorite worn-out Crocs. “
— Jimmy Whitten, President of Whitten Brothers Incorporated
