Big Motoring World silent on rumors of potential Carshop site takeover

Are Big Motoring World and Carshop set to join forces in a major shake-up of the used car industry? Rumours are swirling that Big Motoring World is in advanced negotiations to take over several sites previously operated by Carshop, including locations in Manchester, Norwich, and Sheffield.

This potential deal comes on the heels of Sytner’s decision to axe the CarShop brand and close down multiple sites, as reported by Car Dealer earlier this year. While Big Motoring World has not confirmed these rumours, the strong ties between the top teams of both companies suggest that a partnership could be on the horizon.

Big Motoring World’s executive chairman, Laurence Vaughan, is a former boss of Sytner and played a key role in the company’s growth and success. With a history of leading major expansions and acquisitions in the automotive industry, Vaughan’s leadership could be instrumental in driving Big Motoring World’s growth strategy.

However, the road to expansion has not been without its challenges for Big Motoring World. Founder Peter Waddell was recently ousted from the company, leading to a legal battle that is still ongoing. Despite this turmoil, Big Motoring World remains focused on growth and is actively seeking opportunities to expand its presence in the market.

As the industry awaits further developments, all eyes are on Big Motoring World and Carshop to see if a potential partnership will come to fruition. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story.
