Volvo has recruited Snows Motor Group in Poole and North City in Chigwell to its dealer network.
Growth
The latest signings bring the network to 106 outlets with Volvo planning to grow it to 110 by the end of the year.
The new Poole dealership has opened under Snow’s Kings Volvo trading name and is the fifth Volvo site operated by the group.
Expanding
“We are delighted to be expanding our Volvo operation into Poole. This is an exciting time for Kings Volvo and highlights our long-term strategy and commitment to provide quality franchised car dealerships across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset,” said Neil McCue, franchise manager for Kings Volvo.
North City
The family-owned North City site is based in Chigwell, Essex and sees the brand being sold alongside the group’s existing Saab franchise.
“The addition of these two businesses underlines the quality of dealers that are both joining the Volvo franchise and expanding with us. We are excited about them representing the Volvo brand with energy and enthusiasm in their local markets,” said Philip Hand, Volvo’s network development manager.
