Porsche Club Great Britain

What Porsche Club Great Britain does

Porsche Club Great Britain (PCGB) is the official Porsche-affiliated membership organisation for the UK, founded in 1961 and operating as Gmünd Heritage Limited, a company limited by guarantee registered in England (company number 1536536). It is headquartered at Cornbury House, Cotswold Business Village, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. The club serves UK Porsche owners through a comprehensive platform-plus-services model: recurring annual membership subscriptions, the Porsche Post magazine, a members-only forum, free vehicle valuations, technical advice from Register Secretaries, and discounts from more than 80 partner organisations spanning insurance (Lockton Performance), finance (Oracle Finance), tyres (Pirelli), fuel (WEX Esso), auctions (Collecting Cars), luxury travel (Panache Cruises, Lycian Events) and timepieces (Bomberg).

PCGB's product surface spans motorsport programmes (Race Championship, Porsche Classic Boxster Cup, Speed Championship, Sim Racing, Trackdays), travel experiences (European Tours, Factory Tours to Stuttgart and Leipzig, Le Mans Experiences, Cruises), commerce services (an online shop for branded apparel and accessories, a buy/sell platform, and an annual prize draw), and driver development tuition (PCGB Driver Training, CAT Driver Training Road/Track/Race Academies). Underlying technology is conventional web infrastructure: a members-only forum, online shop, event ticketing system, MailChimp for email, Google Analytics for web usage analysis, and SSL encryption for online transactions. GDPR compliance is maintained (Data Protection Register Z5646281).

The go-to-market model is community-led, organised into 32 geographic Regions and model-specific Registers covering classic (356, Early 911, 964, 993) and modern (992, Taycan, Macan, Cayman, Boxster, Cayenne, GT3, Panamera) Porsche vehicles, plus Porsche Belles for female members and a Modified Register. Revenue is generated through four disclosed streams: recurring membership subscriptions, one-off shop sales, transaction-fee event ticketing and track day bookings, and prize draw ticket sales. The club markets itself primarily through its owned website, the Porsche Post magazine, the members forum, MailChimp email, and a programme of regional and national events, all unified under the "United by the Drive" brand tagline.
