The GEM motoring assist was created in 1932 after the founder was involved in a ‘near miss’ car incident with a man in a sports car on his way to meet a group of his friends in the Warnes Hotel. The founder and the group of friends he was meeting decided to create the Company of Veteran  Motorists to lower the growing vehicle accident toll. In 1978 they rebranded for the launch of their breakdown recovery service to the Guild of Experienced Motorists (GEM). If you want to know more about the history of the GEM or you have some general enquiries about the company please call to speak to someone from the customer services team.
