Building a Legacy
After over 30 years in the car business, the Cecil Atkission Automotive Group draws its personality and much of our culture from our founder and namesake. Cecil Atkission started the business after serving in Vietnam and rising through the ranks at Capitol Chevrolet in Austin, Texas. His wife Nancy grew up on U.S. Air Force bases around the world as her father, a jet pilot, met his assignments throughout Cold War duty stations. Some of their employees say it is just because Cecil and Nancy are just real, friendly, and kind people. Others, very familiar with them, will tell you that a very conservative entrepreneurial stream runs through their veins.
Growth and opportunity have attracted top-rung corporate talent to the management team—including Corporate Vice President, Tate Richburg, General Managers Tommy Atkinson and Scott Barlow, and the newest rising star, Trey Atkission.
But, even as the automobile business has become a complex, technology-based enterprise, the Cecil Atkission business has continued to expand in rural Texas towns. Cecil himself insists on family values and small-town friendliness in all the operations. And with the addition of new families to the management team, those values grow unabated. The personality of Cecil Atkission Automotive Group is best expressed in the slogan Cecil authored 25 years ago, “When the products are similar, the dealer makes the difference.”
