Dorset car dealership Seward (Wessex) Ltd has gone into administration.
Vehicle sales and servicing are set to continue as a buyer is sought.
Administrators from Smith & Williamson arrived at Seward on Tuesday afternoon and issued a statement, saying: “The administrator is pleased to confirm that whilst Seward (Wessex) Limited is in administration, both Vauxhall Motors and Chevrolet UK have agreed to allow vehicle sales and servicing to continue while buyers for one or more parts of the business are identified.”
Seward (Wessex) Ltd is the General Motors wing of Seward Motor Group. The Hyundai dealerships in Christchurch and Salisbury are unaffected by the administration. It is not yet clear if it will affect the MG site in Christchurch.
Founded in 1989, Seward Motor Group employs more than 400 people and currently has a turnover of £100 million.
The company operates across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and West Sussex and includes four main dealerships, seven body shops and a parts distribution centre.
We will post further updates as we receive them.
