AM100 dealer group City West Country is expanding through acquisition of one other Mercedes-Benz dealership.
It has competed the takeover of Exeter’s Mercedes-Benz Van Centre, which has been operated by Snows Motor Group since 2017.
Snows filled an open point within the Mercedes-Benz Vans franchise network, opening a new-build dealership following a £1.4 million investment in the location. Nevertheless it remained its only Mercedes-Benz business.
City West Country will relocate the Mercedes-Benz Vans sales operation to alongside its Mercedes-Benz automotive dealership at Marsh Barton, Exeter, while the aftersales team can be based at its service centre at Clyst St Mary.
Trading as Mercedes-Benz South West, City West Country is ranked 57th within the AM100 currently with annual revenues exceeding £235 million. It has 4 Mercedes-Benz dealerships within the region, retailing latest and used cars and used vans.
It recently accomplished a refurbishment of its Exeter Mercedes-Benz dealership, and last yr it added the Chinese brands GWM Ora and BYD to its portfolio of franchises.
Managing director Mike Wickins said: “We’re thrilled to have added latest Mercedes-Benz Vans to our portfolio. Having experience within the van industry for over a decade has placed us in a distinguished position to represent latest and used van sales and all points of aftersales inside the region. To be adding this department of Mercedes-Benz to our growing company feels incredibly fitting, as our knowledge on Mercedes-Benz is second to none in our market area.
“We’re excited and grateful for this latest challenge, and look eagerly forward to seeing what the following yr brings. We’re also honoured to be welcoming latest members to our team from the Mercedes-Benz Van Centre, and stay up for collaborating to make the transition a hit.”
