Motor group creates 20 jobs moving into Doncaster

A DONCASTER acquisition is adding to Pentagon Motor Group’s portfolio of 33 dealerships and creating 20 jobs.

Pentagon has acquired a Doncaster Alfa Romeo and Jeep dealership, under the management of Mike Cox, to add to its sites across the North.

Headquartered in Barlborough, Derbyshire, Pentagon has been trading since 1991, and have grown the business to a £440m turnover firm, employing 954 people.

The firm recently opened their Lincoln Vauxhall, Citroen, Dacia, Jeep, Mazda and Renault dealership last month, and were supported in their acquisitions by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The group has sites across Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Lincolnshire.

Trevor Reeve, managing director of Pentagon Motor Group, said: “I believe the future is looking bright for both Alfa Romeo and Jeep, and with the opening of this new state-of-the-art dealership in Doncaster we are looking forward to showing the local community here what an exciting range of cars and 4×4’s we have on offer.

“We have enjoyed a 24 year relationship with The Royal Bank of Scotland since we started out with our first dealership in Derby. With their industry knowledge and desire to back our continued expansion, we have achieved year on year growth which is set to continue.”

David Mitchell, relationship director of Motor Retail at The Royal Bank of Scotland, added: “We have a very positive customer relationship with Trevor and the management team at Pentagon, which has instilled great confidence in us to invest at each stage of their expansion.

“They are a forward thinking group of individuals who continue to recognise new markets and capitalise on the geographic opportunities that are presented to them to help them drive business growth.”
