Hendy Group expands further with Stellantis brands in Dorset

Hendy Group is forging ahead with expansion plans in Dorset with the arrival of the Fiat and Abarth franchises at its new Branksome Poole location.

The new franchises join Vauxhall, which was the first Stellantis brand to launch at the new location last year.

Chief executive Paul Hendy said expanding with the new brands demonstrates the group’s ongoing commitment to the county and its developing relationship with Stellantis.

He said: “Dorset has always been a key area for Hendy Group and the addition of these new franchises to our portfolio in the county gives customers more opportunity to enjoy the Hendy experience with our wider offering.

“This year is important for the group as we celebrate 165 years in business during which time we have continued to invest in new facilities, manufacturers, and our people to be part of Team Hendy.

“We are delighted to begin this year’s expansion programme with this news for Dorset and look forward to developing these new brands in Branksome.”

The arrival of Fiat and Abarth means Hendy now represents 23 manufacturers across the south coast.
