SNOWS has acquired single-site Hamble Motors of Southampton, creating its sixth Peugeot dealership and making it one of the largest partners of Peugeot in the country.

Hamble Motors in Bursledon Road, was established in 1954 and offers the full Peugeot new vehicle range, approved used vehicles, fully manufacturer trained technicians and approved parts. In addition, the site is a fleet specialist and a fully authorised Motability provider.

Snows bought the company for an undisclosed sum and staff have already moved over to the Snows business.

Neil McCue, Chief Operating Officer for Snows, said: “We are very excited to take on this great business and warmly welcome Hamble Motors staff to Snows. Hamble Motors, like Snows, has a long-established and well-respected name in the region.

“The addition of the business to the group further demonstrates the ongoing strength of Snows’ partnership with Peugeot. We already represent Peugeot in Basingstoke, Chichester, Newbury, Portsmouth and Romsey.

“This acquisition gives us real benefits of scale across six locations and three counties – Berkshire, Hampshire and West Sussex – which can only be of benefit to our customers.”

Family-owned Snows employs more than 937 staff and represents 18 manufacturer brands across 50 franchised dealerships, three Approved Service Centres, 12 multi-franchise Used Car Centres and a specialist Accident Repair Centre.

The company, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2022, has just been named the top UK retailer for online reputation in the 2021 Automotive Reputation Report.
