Lancashire motor dealership adds Porsche site to its growing North West portfolio

Preston-based motor dealership, Bowker Motor Group, has expanded its prestige automotive franchise portfolio by acquiring Porsche Centre Bolton from Lithia Motors Group UK, for an undisclosed sum.

Porsche Centre Bolton joins Porsche Centre Preston in Bowker Motor Group’s portfolio of eight dealerships, which also includes franchises of BMW, MINI, BMW Motorrad and INEOS Automotive.

Located on Manchester Road, Porsche Centre Bolton first opened in August 2006.

It employs more than 50 staff and serves Porsche owners and enthusiasts in the Greater Manchester area.

Many of the Porsche Centre Bolton team have been with the centre since its opening in 2006 and have more than 150 combined years of technical expertise.

The centre will now operate under the Bowker Motor Group, a family-run business. The acquisition comes in the year Bowker Motor Group celebrates its 40th anniversary.
