The Old Hay Barn

The Old Hay Barn in its original state below circa 1967 in Preston Deanery is now home to Silverstone Fleet

Preston Deanery is a hamlet in the civil parish of Hackleton in South Northamptonshire, England. It is 4 miles (6 km) south of Northampton town centre and 1.5 miles (2 km) by road to the M1 London to Yorkshire motorway junction 15. It lies just off the B526 road (former A50) from Northampton to Newport Pagnell, between Hackleton and Wootton, a former village which has become now a suburb of Northampton. 

Silverstone moved in 2017 to there new purpose built barn conversion, overlooking some of Northamptonshires idyllic countrysides. The transformation has been outstanding. Silverstone have kept the Old Hay Barn name in memory to its former self.

The restoration was a mammoth task and took 12 months build with two years planning in the making. Every stage was documented by one of the best builders on Northampton. 

A lot of blood sweat and tears went into the build to be what it is today. From humble beginnings originally based at Brackmills Industrial Estate, Scott Norville, Managing Director of Silverstone Fleet Management started Silverstone back in 2012 working out of a small office, rented from his sister, Stacy's company on the arrangement of looking after their fleet of cars and vans, which they did for years to come. As the years progressed, Silverstones team naturally grew and needed a firm base with room for growth, not only for the team but also for the business. The Old Hay Barn was now there home

This is the beautiful view from our office reception we enjoy everyday.

The perfect setting for customer collections, which customers can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing view, while having a professional handover of their new vehicle. Silverstone are the first finance provider to provide a VIP service which they call 'SFM VIP' where each customer is collected from either the train or bus station, and in some cases from the airport and taken to the Old Hay Barn to collect there new car. This service is unique to Silverstone
