MG extends south west presence
MG Motor UK has opened two new Howards MG sites in Taunton and Weston-super-Mare.
As the dealer group’s first two MG franchises, the new showrooms will join a strong retailer network for the company across south-west England.
Howards Motor Group operates 22 dealerships across 13 automotive brands in key locations in the region.
Peter Haynes, managing director of Howards Motor Group, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be joining the MG dealer network in representing this iconic brand at two high profile locations. This beloved British marque is now backed by one of the world’s largest car manufacturers and this has resulted in MG offering an extensive and stunning range of quality cars.
“We are a highly progressive and modern family business that remains proud of its heritage. We believe these values are totally in harmony with those of MG as a brand and that we are perfectly placed to deliver fantastic quality, value for money and convenience to our mutual customers in the future”.
David Allington, network development manager at MG Motor UK, said: “We are delighted to welcome Howards MG to our dealership network as we continue to further our presence across the UK. Partnering with dealer groups such as Howards, who have a proven track record in delivering high-quality and personalised customer service, will help bring the MG brand closer to more buyers than ever before.
“Furthermore, Howards’ existing infrastructure and levels of investment in the MG brand, will enable us to scale-up further and accelerate our ambitious growth plans for 2020. MG is targeting further expansion in strategic locations such as Bristol, Plymouth, Liverpool and Aberdeen and working towards having 120 sites in total by the middle of this year.”
