A new Peugeot dealer has been launched in Canterbury. Perrys Canterbury has taken over the brand from Marshall following its closure in March.

Having officially launched on Thursday 1 May, the latest addition to Perrys Canterbury’s site in Island Road, Sturry, will expand its portfolio of brands, which currently include Mazda and Vauxhall.

It also strengthens Perrys’ own Peugeot brand, adding to the six other sites in the group.

Graham Knell, regional director at Perrys Motor Sales, said: “The addition of Peugeot will complement the brands that we already have at our Canterbury site. This will make Canterbury a key destination point for customers to come and view their new cars, as well as looking after all of their needs.”

Following the takeover, Perrys Canterbury has taken on three key staff members from the Marshall business: a trained technician, a Peugeot service advisor and a retail manager, who it is delighted to welcome to its team.

Perrys Canterbury will offer Peugeot customers a full servicing and parts service, in addition to its smart repair service for cosmetics such as alloy wheel refurbishments and paintwork, which is covered by six vans.

As well as the three main brands, Perrys Canterbury also has a used car centre and a commercial vehicle centre, in addition to a servicing department.

The Peugeot brand in Canterbury has been running for more than 40 years and has previously been owned by different dealers, including Motorline, Marshall and Constellation.

Perrys currently has three other sites in Kent: Broadstairs, Dover and Sittingbourne.

Watch this space – Perrys is looking to expand in the east of the county with brands that complement its existing portfolio.
