Mangoletsi has opened a Suzuki dealership in Cheshire, the growing brand’s third franchise in the region.

The new site is located on the A50 London Road, near Knutsford, and will service customers in South Manchester, Stockport and Macclesfield.

Mangoletsi is one of the UK’s longest established privately-owned automotive retailers, which also holds Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Fiat and Abarth franchises.

Dale Wyatt, director of Automobile at Suzuki GB PLC, said: “The appointment of Mangoletsi fills the strategic open point of Knutsford for the first time and is well placed to serve motorists in Cheshire, a key market for Suzuki.

“As a long established business with a large customer base, and a reputation for delivering fast and responsive service, Mangoletsi was the obvious choice when looking to increase our network coverage in the North of England.”

Fraser Hudson, managing director of Mangoletsi, added: “We are delighted to welcome Suzuki to the Mangoletsi family, and they are an ideal extension to our current brand portfolio.

"The vehicle manufacturer’s competitively-priced range allows Mangoletsi to expand its reach to prospective buyers looking for a car with off-road and hybrid capability.”
