Motor Trader The award-winning and longest running UK magazine for car retailing professionals. Your first stop for News, Jobs and Reports for the motor industry.
BV Rees is celebrating 10-years as a SsangYong affiliate this month, as well as 75-years of trading.
The family run showroom, managed by Wyn Rees, opened in Cardigan, Wales in 1948, and remains there to this day.
Rees started at the business officially in 1976, but as the youngest son of Victor (BV) Rees, was getting to grips with the motor trade even earlier and during the school holidays. He is a qualified technician and he and his staff have high levels of product and service experience.
Wyn won Top UK Technician in 1983 and was runner-up in the whole of Europe in 1984.
SsangYong UK managing director, Kevin Griffin said: “BV Rees is our latest dealer to reach the landmark decade with SsangYong. We’re extremely proud of all their hard work in this time and their very positive presence for us in the west of Wales. We are passing our thanks and gratitude to Wyn and the rest of the team, here’s to another ten.”
Rees said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with SsangYong for the last decade. We and our customers identify strongly with the strong product line-up, and this has made selling the cars very enjoyable. We’re excited to see what the future holds for the brand and what new technologies we will see, as well as serving our fantastic and supportive community during this time.”
