Subaru adds first of 15 new car dealerships in ‘roots-up’ network restructure

Livery Dole, Tees Valley and Ullswater Road Garage have opened new Subaru UK dealerships as part of a “roots-up” restructure of the brand’s franchised car retail network aiming to add 10 new locations in the first half of 2021.

Mirroring the growth plans of Isuzu UK – a fellow Japanese brand managed by UK distributor IM Group – the carmaker’s network has gotten off to a fast start and is aiming to end the year with no fewer than 15 new franchised sites.

First to add new showrooms this year are: Livery Dole, Exeter; Tees Valley, Darlington; and Ullswater Road Garage, Penrith.
