Another new dealership joins the ranks of MG's dealers, as the brand grows so does its dealer base.

Burton-upon-Trent’s T L Darby, a family-run business for more than 50 years, has joined MG Motor UK’s expanding network. To celebrate, local residents were given the opportunity to attend an exclusive launch event a couple of weeks ago, Tuesday 13 June. The doors of the showroom were opened for guests, giving them the chance to see the dealership and the new MG XS, which will be available from Autumn 2017. 

Opening the showroom was Burton’s new Mayor, Simon Gaskin, who ceremonially cut a ribbon and welcomed guests to the dealership. 

Refreshments were on hand and visitors had the chance to win an overnight stay for two adults at the Breadsall Priory Marriott Hotel & Country Club, and the use of an MG GS for the weekend.

Richard Darby, Managing Director at T L Darby MG, said: “We have been a part of the local community for five decades, and we’re extremely proud of our place in Burton. MG is Britain’s fastest growing car brand with an impressive range, which we are delighted to be able to offer our customers.”

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing at MG Motor UK, added: “We’re pleased to welcome such a passionate supporter of the brand to our dealer network. T L Darby MG has a long-established reputation for delivering excellent service and we’re thrilled to see them join us at MG.”

MG Motor UK has further expanded its national dealer network with the appointment of Henson Motor Group. Trading under the name ‘Newcastle MG’, the Benton-based business is widely regarded as one of the UK’s fastest-growing new and used car supermarkets.

Taking on the MG franchise from March 2017, Newcastle MG will be responsible for retailing the MG3 Supermini and family-friendly SUV, the MG GS. Perfectly balancing practicality and performance, both models offer style and substance for a highly affordable price.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the sale of new and used cars, Henson Motor Group prides itself on delivering a professional service. A thorough understanding of the market and close customer relationships has helped to build a strong local reputation, with nearly half of all sales coming from referrals.

David Hodgson, General Manager at Henson Motor Group, commented: “At Henson Motor Group, we work hard to make your next car purchase as easy, stress free and enjoyable as possible. And, with a huge selection of vehicles, we stock the cars you really want!

“Joining the MG dealer network is a milestone achievement. As our first ever franchise brand, we will work in close partnership with the MG team to provide customers across the north east with the brand’s award-winning model range.

“Car preferences have continued to change over the past few years, with more customers opting for either the practicality of an SUV, or the fuel efficiency and inner-city driving capability of a Supermini. MG offers models in both these sectors, making our appointment to the network an exciting next step for the business.”

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing at MG Motor UK, added: “As a fast-paced and dynamic dealership, we’re confident that Henson Motor Group will help to further elevate the MG brand across Newcastle and the surrounding areas.

“With a committed team, excellent facilities and clear strategy, customers will benefit from expert advice and professional service.”

MG opens another new dealership to expand it's portfolio and expand sales further in 2017.

Beaver Garages, the family-run motor dealer based in Minehead, Somerset, has been appointed an MG Motor UK franchise, expanding the resurgent car brand’s network in the South East.

Established in 1981 as Richard Beaver Garages, the business operates from three locations in Taunton and Minehead, providing retail, servicing and used car solutions to drivers in the region. 

The move to MG is a major development for Beaver Garages, which chose the marque due to the growing reputation of its new models and the strong culture of collaboration from the manufacturer’s Longbridge team.

Group sales manager at Beaver Garages, Wayne Johnson, said: “Having talked to several other car manufacturers looking to expand their network, we found the team at MG to be very approachable, business-like and easy to deal with. Unlike many other big car brands, the team based in Birmingham was always easy to contact and very proactive when it came to setting up the franchise.”

Beaver Garages will begin actively retailing the MG3 supermini and all-new SUV, the MG GS, before Christmas.

Johnson continued: “While we were really impressed with the style, build quality and sheer value for money that the new MG range offered, we were also pleasantly surprised by the proactive way the company provides sales support for its models. For instance, MG’s current 0% finance offer on new models is an incredible incentive for new drivers to get behind the wheel of the funky supermini or bigger GS.”

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales & Marketing at MG Motor UK, added: “Beaver Garages is one of the most respected dealers in the South West. It has been offering great customer service for more than 30 years now and are very active in supporting local sports clubs and other community activities. Beaver Garages a great family team and we’re delighted to have them on board as an MG Motor franchisee.”

While MG sales will initially be conducted at Beaver Garage’s existing premises in Minehead, the business is planning to open a dedicated MG showroom in the summer of 2017.

With space for the whole family, the fully collapsible 60:40 split rear seats create a massive 1,336 litres of space to fit even the most lavish shopping trips. Optional roof top bars paired with a 360-litre top box provide even more space in the GS.  

Automatic headlights and cruise control come as standard, even on the entry-level Explore model, while the mid-range Excite adds rear parking sensors and reversing camera, along with DAB radio and Bluetooth. The top-spec GS Exclusive features an integrated sat nav, electric seats and state-of-the-art Xenon headlamps – what more could you ask for!
