Vospers Welcomes County Garages to the Family in Major Devon Expansion

Vospers, one of the South West’s leading automotive retail groups, is pleased to announce the acquisition of County Garages Ltd., a well-established and respected motor dealership based in Barnstaple, North Devon.

This strategic acquisition completed on Tuesday 27 ^th May significantly enhances Vospers' representation in the region, adding a high-performing dealership that holds franchises for Vauxhall, Renault, Dacia, Kia, and Suzuki.

County Garages has a long-standing reputation for excellence, with a history of strong performance and award-winning customer satisfaction. The business shares many of the same values that have underpinned Vospers’ success for over 79 years, including a commitment to integrity, service, and community.

“The acquisition of County Garages represents a major milestone in our long-term growth strategy,” said Managing Director, Nick Vosper. “We are fortunate this opportunity arose in the Barnstaple area and delighted to welcome this outstanding business and its excellent team into the Vospers family. County Garages will bring new and an excellent foundation to expand our footprint in Devon and Cornwall.”

The acquisition comes in a period of economic challenges, however, it reflects Vospers’ confidence in the region and the desirability of the County Garages operation.

Nick, Peter and key Vosper’s Directors have already met the County team, and both organisations are committed to ensuring a smooth and collaborative transition for staff, customers, and partners.

Chairman Peter Vosper said “I would like to thank the previous owners, Nick and Andy in particular, for their help and Nick Vosper and fellow Directors at Vospers for all their efforts in adding this further opportunity to the Vospers group.
