Two famous French automotive brands now have their own official showrooms in Dorset for the first time.
Hendy Group, which celebrates its 165th birthday this year, has expanded its state-of-the-art, multi-brand dealership in Poole with the addition of the Peugeot and Citroën marques.
The expansion is part of Hendy’s long-term strategic growth plan and further consolidates the group’s partnership with the Stellantis vehicle manufacturing group, which also includes Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jeep and Vauxhall.
Hendy acquired the existing Vauxhall showroom in Poole in September 2023, adding the Fiat and Abarth brands in February this year.
Alongside a comprehensive range of passenger cars – including the latest plug-in models – the Poole showroom will also display and service the Vauxhall light commercial vehicles.
The team of sales advisors have been specially trained to work across all five brands.
Paul Hendy, CEO of Hendy Group, said: “This will be great news for car buyers in Dorset, as it will greatly improve access to the many exciting new models from Peugeot and Citroën.
“Having all of these brands under one roof, and ensuring colleagues are ready to support with any enquiry, will make the whole car and van buying experience easier and more enjoyable.
“This is another important milestone in our 165th year, and we’re excited about a range of other Hendy projects in the pipeline.”
Hendy Group represents 24 manufacturers across 80 sites along the south coast of England.
