Now Motor Retailing has expanded its representation with Vauxhall within the M25 with the acquisition of West End Vauxhall in Staples Corner.

The business was bought from Lang West End for an undisclosed fee and brings Now’s representation up to five sites.

The site is on London’s busy North Circular and is a newly built brand centre. Lang had occupied the site for 19 years.

“We’ve always wanted to grow within the M25 and in the current market this was an ideal opportunity,” said Jon Taylor, talking to Motor Trader.

Taylor said the site is being rebranded as Now and most of the staff are expected to be retained.

“There’s room to grow the business and the showroom’s only five years old,” he said.

Now formed in 2006 as a joint venture with Vauxhall to acquire the assets of the Lance Owen Group. The group employs around 160 staff and has a turnover of £32m
