1998

In 1998 the company had expanded to a level where it could not operate from the current position, so moved to a new unit, still in Worksop.
 Now with 660 sq/ft, and under the direction of Mike Mills, John’s youngest son, the position allowed JM to development into other areas, including a new professional kart racing team. 1999 saw James Mills, son of Roger become a partner at JM.
 For 5 years the company carried on growing until its move to its current location at the heart of PF International Kart Circuit in Lincolnshire.

Established in 1959

The company was Formed in 1959 by John Mills together with his brother Roger Mills after finding a demand for karts here in the UK. They started out working from a double garage at John’s house, and the supply of karts and equipment started to grow. In the late 60’s JM was to join forces with an Italian company which had a massive impact on British karting, as for the first time, a fully commercially made product was marketed and sold with great success, taking British, European & World Championships. Roger Mills continue racing, along with John’s son Adrian, who went on to become the youngest senior British Champion in 1980 at the age of 16.
