SsangYong appeals to Vauxhall retailers
22 April 2018
SsangYong is looking to fill some of its 35 network open points from the pool of soon-to-be culled Vauxhall retailers.
Following Vauxhall’s announcement that it had issued termination notices to all 326 of its franchise holders and would only be reappointing just more than 200, SsangYong boss Nick Laird contacted Auto Retail Agenda to say he was hoping to recruit some of those losing out on a new Vauxhall franchise.
Speaking exclusively to Auto Retail Agenda, Laird said: “We’re hiring. We have 35 open points and if there are some smaller, privately owned, retail franchises then we would be happy to talk to them. I, and I suspect everyone, feels for the Vauxhall network now.”
Mr Laird added that he thought that good local retailers could possibly put SsangYong and a second franchise into a former Vauxhall showroom.
