Thurlow Nunn expands brand portfolio with acquisition of Lings Hyundai

Regional car dealer group Thurlow Nunn is extending its Suffolk footprint with the acquisition of Lings Hyundai in Lowestoft, adding the Korean marque as its fourth car brand.

With a strong presence across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, the addition of the Hyundai brand follows the launch of its first MG franchise in East Anglia.

November saw the opening  of a purpose-built MG showroom at King's Lynn in Norfolk, alongside its existing Vauxhall and Peugeot dealerships.

Thurlow Nunn also recently opened a new Peugeot showroom in Norwich and said it now has plans to introduce several new Stellantis franchise points by the end of 2024. The dealership group is also a Honda aftersales retailer.

"Bringing another brand into the Thurlow Nunn family is an exciting moment for us, and we are delighted to complete the purchase of Lings Hyundai in Lowestoft,” said Will Tew, managing director of Thurlow Nunn.

"As a business, we are focused on sustainable growth, and this acquisition aligns perfectly with those ambitions. Lings has built a strong legacy as a leading Hyundai dealership in the local area, and we are thrilled to continue that tradition. We hope and expect this to be the first of many Hyundai sites we operate as we strive to enhance our role as a key regional partner.”
