This week, Maidstone MG officially opened the doors to its all-new, £1 million showroom in Parkwood.

This week, Maidstone MG officially opened the doors to its all-new, £1 million showroom in Parkwood. To celebrate the launch, the award-winning dealer is offering customers £500 of free fuel for every new MG GS and MG3 purchased from 22nd May, until 4th June 2017, making an already great motoring deal even sweeter.

The modern, 5,000 sq ft facility will allow the dealership to showcase the super-fun Supermini, the MG3, as well as the MG GS, the brand’s first SUV. Of course, there will also be dedicated space for the next addition for the brand, the much-anticipated Compact-SUV. Unveiled at the London Motor Show earlier this month, the MG XS is expected in showrooms at the end of the year.

The dealership, which joined the MG network in 2015, is renowned for having a great product line-up and excellent customer service. Recently recognised as a top performing dealership at MG’s annual dealer conference, the Kent-based business continues to expand. Developing new premises comes as part of a long-term strategy to meet growing customer demand, providing the perfect platform for continued future growth.

Commenting on the development, Danial Brann, Sales Manager at Maidstone MG, said: “We believe the key to running a successful car dealership is simple – a great product, supported by excellent customer service. This simple mix has helped to grow our business significantly over the past three years, culminating in the opening of a new showroom.

“To celebrate the opening, our two week ‘free fuel’ giveaway will give motorists yet another reason to get behind the wheel of a brand-new MG and drive away happy. MG’s range is fun, family-friendly and surprisingly affordable, with each model offering the perfect blend of style, practicality and performance.”

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing at MG Motor UK, added: “As one of the network’s top-performers, Maidstone MG is well-known across Kent and the surrounding areas as a trusted, friendly, local car dealership. We wish Danial and the team every success for the launch of their new showroom.”

The MG range has something for everyone. The MG GS is the perfect family car. It comes in three trim levels and starts from just £15,095 – that’s almost a massive £4,000 cheaper than an entry level Qashqai. Available in a range of six striking colours, with spec and tech to match, its roomy interior is great for families who need a vehicle with acres of luggage space.

Meanwhile, the MG3 Supermini is a great all-rounder that’s perfect for younger drivers with its low insurance group rating and price starting at just £8,695. Unlike many cars in its class, space is not compromised in the front or rear of the MG3, which can comfortably carry five, 6ft adults.

Maidstone MG is part of the FG Barnes Group – one of the south-east’s leading car dealership groups, boasting more than 115 years’ experience in the retail of new and used cars. For more information about Maidstone MG, or the company’s new showroom, visit www.maidstonemg.co.uk. 

MG Motors UK announces the winners of its awards for sales and service.

MG Motor UK has announced the winners of its 2017 Annual Dealer Awards. The event, which took place on 12 January as part of the company’s national conference, celebrated outstanding achievement from across the network.

Nathaniel MG took home the prestigious Dealer of the Year accolade, alongside being named Top MG3 Selling Dealer. Part of the network since 2015, the Bridgend-based business was recognised for delivering exceptional service for customers across South Wales. 

Sponsor of the Welsh Premier League’s Nathaniel MG Cup, the dealership is renowned nationwide for new and used car sales. The company’s motto is simple – hard work, enthusiasm and respect offers a winning formula!

Elsewhere, the Top MG6 Selling Dealer Award was presented to Cornwall’s Falmouth Garage, while Maidstone MG took home both the Aftersales Accessories Dealer of the Year Award and Top MG GS Selling Dealer accolade. 

The event’s final two awards recognised the achievements of Dudley-based Summit Garage, which was named Parts and Accessories Aftersales Dealer of the Year and Aftersales Parts Dealer of the Year. Set to celebrate 72 years in business later in 2017, the dealership is hugely prominent in the West Midlands.

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing for MG Motor UK, commented: “2016 has been a historic year for MG. Sales have grown by 33% year-on-year, making us one of the UK’s fastest-growing vehicle manufacturers. Our dedicated dealer network has played an instrumental role in this achievement and we can’t thank them enough for such passion and commitment to the MG brand. 2017 is set to be another exciting year, with more new product coming to the market.

“It’s great to see dealers from across the network identified and recognised for their individual successes, which is why our Annual Dealer Awards is such an important date in the calendar.

“We would like to thank each and every dealer in the MG network for their hard work in 2016 and wish them all the success for the year to come.”
