Big Motoring World targets £1bn+ turnover with acquisition of Carshop sites

Big Motoring World has acquired three dealerships from CarShop, the used car supermarket division of Sytner Group.

CarShop's Sheffield and Norwich sites are reopening with the Big Motoring World branding this month, while the newly completed Camberley car supermarket will follow later in the year.

This acquisition follows the opening of three Big sites in 2023 and represents a continuation of Big’s strategy to achieve national coverage.

Last autum it expanded into the Midlands with the takeover of two car supermarkets previously operated by ID10 rival Available Car.

The group said it remains determined to grow its network to become the clear market leader in the car supermarket sector, which would require it to overtake Motorpoint, which currently is the only used car supermarket group that has national coverage.
