MG Motor UK's dealer network has expanded into Hemel Hempstead with the appointment of Palmers MG.

Palmers Motor Company has added the Chinese-owned brand to its Penine Way complex which already has showrooms for Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Jeep and Mitsubishi.

“Providing an outstanding service and easy accessibility to the brand is imperative for the ongoing growth of MG across the UK," said David Allington, network development manager at MG Motor UK.

"The addition of Palmers MG to our dealership network represents another step closer to achieving our target of 120 fully operational dealerships by the end of 2020, a key milestone in MG’s momentum and growth mid-term plan."

Dan Branch, operations director at Palmers Motor Company, said: “We’re always striving to work with developing brands and, with MG’s commitment to bring a wide range of new models to market in the coming years, taking on an MG franchise was an attractive option.

"As a group, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service, often delivering cars to customers throughout their motoring career."

Branch said the dealership has recorded a tremendously positive reception to MG’s first all-electric car, the ZS EV.
