Endeavour Automotive expands Volvo footprint
17 February 2019
Acquisitive retail group Endeavour Automotive is understood to have bought three Volvo sites from neighbouring group Squire Furneaux for an undisclosed sum.
The purchase gives Endeavour two additional Volvo showrooms in Slough and Maidenhead plus an additional Volvo service centre in High Wycombe taking its total number of Volvo showrooms to eight.
All three sites are currently listed on both companies’ websites however a well placed source told Agenda the deal has been done. No one from Endeavour or Squire Furneaux was available for comment.
The takeover leaves Squire Furneaux with two Volvo franchises in Guildford and Leatherhead.
Meanwhile, Helston Garages has moved one of its five Volvo retailers into a new Scandi-style showroom. The Kastner Volvo site in Exeter was formerly Matford Land Rover and has a large glass walled lounge where customers can watch their car in the workshop. It has a bigger showroom, more room for Volvo Selekt approved used cars and better parking than the previous facility.
