Mon Motors expands with takeover of seven Volkswagen Group showrooms

Mon Motors has doubled its representation of Volkswagen Group brands with an acquisition of dealerships in the West Country.

The family-owned dealer group has taken over Bristol Skoda, Bristol Cupra and Bristol Volkwagen, plus Gloucester Cupra and Gloucester Skoda, Volkswagen Weston-super-Mare and Cheltenham Audi from Heritage Automotive.

Mon Motors is in 51st position in the AM100 currently and the deal is likely to move it past Yeomans and Porsche Retail Group into the first half of the rankings.

AM100 data shows it already had three Audi, one Skoda, one Seat and two Volkswagen Seat dealerships, plus Ford and Volvo sites.

Managing director Gavin Cleverly said the group is now recruiting for extra staff, including a head of business.
