Isuzu Continues Dealer Network Expansion in 2021 • Professional Van

Isuzu has continued to grow its network in 2021, adding 16 new dealers to bring the total to 105 outlets. The rapid growth this year represents the most dealer appointments Isuzu has made in a single year since the original D-Max was launched back in 2012.

New Dealers Around the UK

Dealers have been added across the country, with key appointments in the north including Tees Valley in Darlington, Adam Purves in Galashiels and Livingstone Motor Group in Hull. Those were joined by Chorley Group, which was added to the network at the beginning of October.

Serving the central part of the UK, Equi-Trek opened its Sheffield based dealership in February and was joined by Close Motor Company in Peterborough in March. Nunns of Grimsby and Rawlinson in Suffolk also opened in June and August respectively.

Livery Dole opened in Exeter, while Hunt Forest Group added two sites, one on the Isle of Wight and the other in Blashford, Hampshire. Oliver Landpower in Tingewick and Devonshire Motors in Barnstable also joined the franchise in April 2021.

Isuzu: Expansion Is Vital

“The sales success and positive reaction surrounding the All-New Isuzu D-Max has been both rewarding and challenging, with demand currently outstripping supply,” explained William Brown, Isuzu UK’s managing director.

“However, with our plans for growth over the coming years, it was vital to have an expanded dealer network in place to deliver the standards of service that our current and future customers expect from the pick-up professionals.”

Chorley Group’s managing director, Adam Turner, said of being the latest addition to the Isuzu network: “As a multi-brand dealer group, we have vast experience of the way the partnership between a brand and dealership works.

“However, from day one we have been blown away by the simplicity, professionalism, and speed that the Isuzu team have worked with. From our initial contact on LinkedIn, the team have been incredible, enabling us to get the brand up and running in record time.

“These are very exciting times for Isuzu, and we are proud to be a part of the journey.”
