Citygate Automotive acquires Škoda outlet from Lookers

Citygate Automotive has added its third Škoda outlet with the acquisition of the West London franchise from Lookers, for an undisclosed sum.

This follows the group’s recent acquisitions of West London Volkswagen and Twickenham Volkswagen earlier this year.

Employing over 650 staff, the company’s latest purchase increases its portfolio to 14 dealerships across London and the Home Counties, representing Volkswagen, VW Commercial Vehicles, Škoda, SEAT, Cupra and Kia for new, used and aftersales.

The West London operation joins existing Citygate Škoda sites in Slough and Watford.

Commenting on the acquisition of West London Škoda, Citygate’s Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Smith, said: “We are delighted to further strengthen our relationship with Škoda and Volkswagen Group UK with this strategic acquisition in the capital, which complements our other locations.

“With exciting new models launching across the Škoda range, we are proud to expand our portfolio and deliver excellence for the brand and our customers.”
