Peter Vardy Group has expanded in Aberdeen with the acquisition of a car dealership from Gillanders.
It has secured the MG franchises for Aberdeen and Peterhead from Gillanders, which continues to represent Kia, and opened its third MG dealership in Scotland at Lang Stracht, where it had a Carz used car centre previously.
It follows the AM100 dealer group’s launch of two new MG dealerships in August, at Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy.
Chief executive Peter Vardy said: “We are delighted to add MG Aberdeen to our portfolio of MG locations, and we can’t wait to welcome both existing customers and those new to the MG brand to our Lang Stracht dealership.
“MG has a rich history and a strong reputation for manufacturing high-quality, innovative, and affordable vehicles and we are confident that this addition to our dealerships will resonate with our customers.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the Gillanders team and our internal teams for making this acquisition possible. Exciting times lie ahead for our group.”
Peter Vardy Group now trades from 14 locations across Scotland.
