ARNOLD Clark Automobiles, the UK’s largest privately-owned motor retailer, has acquired Patterson Motor Group, which is headquartered in Newcastle and employs 370 people, for an undisclosed sum. The £250m turnover Patterson Motor Group, which also has showrooms in Hexham and Shiremoor, was founded almost 100 years ago. Patterson’s managing director Ashley Winter and finance director Cliff Thornton will leave the firm after serving as consultants for a few months during the transition period.
