The Story Behind The Name:
La Royale
The name of our Group, La Royale, is a deliberate nod to one of the most iconic expressions of vision and craftsmanship: the Bugatti Type 41 La Royale. Created in the 1920s by Ettore Bugatti in Molsheim, France, also the hometown of our founder, Joan Beaufort, the La Royale was more than just a vehicle. It was a symbol of precision, ambition, and timeless elegance. A vehicle that was unparalleled in its performance and quality, made for those who defined excellence.
Much like its namesake, La Royale Group stands for bold vision and enduring value. We pay homage to a legacy that spans generations and reflects our long-term commitment to exceptional standards. The importance of Molsheim runs deep, as the birthplace of the original La Royale and hometown of our founder. We continue to honour that connection by actively supporting business and community development in the region.
