We are proud to announce that Jason Bickford has been named to the Automotive News 2026 40 Under 40 list, an annual program honoring 40 high achievers under 40 at car dealerships nationwide. It comes as no surprise to those of us who work alongside him every day.
For the past 17 years, Jason has carried on his family's legacy by leading Bickford Ford into its next chapter. Under his leadership, we have grown the business, kept pace with new technology, and opened the brand-new Ford Pro Service Center that expands our capacity to serve customers and local businesses.
This recognition also belongs to our team, whose hard work and care for the people they serve make Bickford Ford what it is. We’re also grateful to Ford for being such great partners, and most of all to our customers and community, whose trust makes all of our growth possible. We’re proud to give back through organizations such as Everett Gospel Mission, the Snohomish Food Bank, and our support of local youth sports.
“I’m grateful to Automotive News for this honor. Helping build on my family’s legacy at Bickford Ford has been a privilege, and I’m proud to work alongside a team that cares so much about the people we serve. Their hard work, our partnership with Ford, and the trust of our customers and community make our progress possible. What makes that growth especially meaningful is the opportunity to invest in our people and give back to the community we call home.” - Jason Bickford
Thank you to our employees for all you do, and to our customers and neighbors for your trust.
