A company that has changed what it sells
Half a century in business. It began as an office-equipment trading house and has moved into whatever the market has needed since. Cars were added in 2019.

Built and ran a closed social network connecting older people with their families.
- 2019
Started the automotive business, NBMS Cars, covering sourcing and sales through to inspection and maintenance.
The Hi-Mi-Tsu Project
Himitsu is the Japanese word for secret. Here it is built from three words: hito (people), mirai (the future) and tsunageru (to connect). Connecting people to one another, and on to what comes next — the principle the company has worked to since it was founded.
Selling a car is not a one-off transaction. Sourcing, inspection, servicing and the next car after this one: we work on the basis that the relationship carries on.
