The company Jack Pruen Limited was established 26 June 1926.  It is still trading but is now a "Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate" so expect that after the car business ceased the company was kept to manage the future use of the site.

J Pruen Ltd were trading from at least 1936 when they were an Austin dealer also known as Jack Pruen.  They held the Vauxhall franchise for a time as evidenced by this 1964 advert.
