Hendy Group has completed its acquisition of West Way Nissan in Southampton from Nissan GB.
Hendy Group chief executive Paul Hendy said the Nissan dealership is now being integrated into the group ahead of a planned move to new premises in Eastleigh.
“We welcome West Way Nissan colleagues to Team Hendy and look forward to a long and successful future together,” he said.
“The acquisition comes at a time of continued investment here at Hendy Group with plans for a brand-new Nissan dealership well under way as part of a larger investment project in Eastleigh.”
Paul described the acquisition as another important milestone in the continued growth of Hendy Group and its work with the Nissan brand.
The West Way Nissan dealership was one of 13 nationwide being sold by Nissan GB and Paul said the addition of the Southampton business to the Hendy portfolio comes at an exciting time for the Japanese brand which is a leading manufacturer in the move to electric vehicles.
“The addition of this new business is a further example of our strategic growth and by investing in new facilities for the brand we are demonstrating long-term commitment to Nissan and its products,” added Paul.
“We already run successful Nissan operations in Dorset and Wiltshire so to add Hampshire makes perfect sense for the business.”
