FRENCH carmakers Peugeot and Citroen have been added to Hendy Group’s Poole dealership. 

The "state-of-the-art", multi-brand dealership in Poole Road, Branksome, has expanded with the additional marques.   

Hendy has said it is part of the company’s long-term strategic growth plan and “further consolidates the group’s partnership” with Stellantis, 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.  

Paul Hendy, chief executive 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.”
