Snows Group has acquired Hamble Motors Peugeot dealership south east of Southampton for an undisclosed sum.
This is its sixth Peugeot dealership. It currently represents Peugeot in Basingstoke, Chichester, Newbury, Portsmouth and now Southampton.
Snows is ranked 43 in the Motor Trader Top 200 Dealer Groups with annual turnover of £414.4m.
Neil McCue, chief operating officer for Snows, said: “We are very excited to take on this great business and warmly welcome Hamble Motors staff to Snows.
“Hamble Motors, like Snows, has a long-established and well-respected name in the region.
“The addition of the business to the group further demonstrates the ongoing strength of Snows’ partnership with Peugeot.
“We already represent Peugeot in Basingstoke, Chichester, Newbury, Portsmouth and Romsey.
“This exciting acquisition gives us real benefits of scale across six locations and three counties – Berkshire, Hampshire and West Sussex – which can only be of benefit to our customers.”
Family-owned Snows employs more than 937 staff and represents 18 manufacturer brands across 50 franchised dealerships, three Approved Service Centres, 12 multi-franchise Used Car Centres and a specialist Accident Repair Centre.
The company, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2022, has just been named the top UK retailer for online reputation in the 2021 Automotive Reputation Report.
