Established in 2003 following a management buyout by Paul Manning and Steve Bessex, the company’s Managing Directors, Drive Motor Retail Limited has continued to expand into the South West adding to their 10 Vauxhall dealerships, a Kawasaki dealership and a Chevrolet dealership in the region and Midlands.

Geldards’ Partner, Andrew Borkowski, said “This deal further strengthens Drive Motor Retail’s presence in the South West and is the latest in a long line of deals the Geldards’ Motor Retail team has been involved with as the sector has ignited over the last 12 months. This level of activity in the market can only be good for the economy as a whole.”

Joint Managing Director, Paul Manning said: “This is another good deal for us at a time when the industry is strengthening and as we build on our presence in Bristol and the surrounding area.”

“We chose Geldards as our legal advisers for their knowledge of and proven track record in the Motor Retail sector”
