Mitsubishi moves to fill gaps left by Southgate
Mitsubishi is searching for new franchise representation in the south coast following the closure of Southgate-owned dealerships in Andover, Romsey, Poole and Bridport.
In a statement Mitsubishi Motors UK confirmed four of its sites had ceased trading.
“As a priority we are now working with customers who have been affected by this unfortunate situation and are also searching for new representation across all four open points.”
The eight-outlet dealer group, which also includes Peugeot dealerships, is ranked number 193 in the Motor Trader Top 200.
Southgate Group is a family owned business, which resulted from the acquisition, by David Moulton, Garry Rowles and Norman Hoult in May 1996 of the Shorts of Winchester Peugeot operation.
Managing director David Moulton maintains overall responsibility for the Southgate Group.
