Vantage adds Mazda to extensive vehicle range
VANTAGE Motor Group has been appointed as the official Mazda dealer for Oldham with plans to build a new site, signifying major growth for the dealer group and boosting its turnover by £8m.
The move sees Mazda join Toyota, Kia, Citroen, Honda, Hyundai, SKODA and Lexus in Vantage’s portfolio and follows hot on the heels of the acquisition of the group’s first SKODA site in Morecambe – increasing its network of sites to 22.
The £174m company has opened a temporary showroom on the same site as Vantage Hyundai Oldham on Rochdale Road, and plans to build a new Mazda dealership later this year, representing an investment of £500,000.
The dealership which will be branded as Vantage Mazda Oldham will create 10new jobs in the local area, and is expected to sell 500 new and used cars per year.
Vantage managing director Mark Robinson said: “We are very excited about adding Mazda to the brands we are proud to represent, and it couldn’t come at a better time as Mazda continues to evolve by adding fantastic new products like the Mazda2 and CX-3, and the all-new MX-5 which is set to join the line-up soon.”
