DM Keith has acquired Martyn Beever York Seat and Skoda for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition now expands DM Keith’s network to five outlets in Yorkshire.

Dougal Keith, managing director of DM Keith, said: “I am really pleased with the acquisition of York Seat and Skoda.

“We have a strong relationship with Volkswagen UK and this will be our first experience of the Seat brand. It also strengthens our Skoda market-area with adding our fifth Skoda dealership. We look forwarding to welcoming our new colleagues at the site into our business."

David Kendrick, transaction manager at ASE, said: “The acquisition of York SEAT and Skoda appears to be a very good fit for DM Keith Limited and it was very pleasing to complete a full share sale.

"Although the industry faces some tough months ahead it is pleasing to see some proactive players continuing to expand and acquire businesses."
