Pentagon Motor Group has added the Renault and Dacia car brands to its Rochdale Vauxhall site on Queensway this week (26 April).

The group’s Vauxhall dealership in Middleton, on Greenside Way, has taken on the Renault van side of the franchise.

Pentagon managing director, David Lewis said: “We have a clear strategy of focusing our efforts on the major marques in the UK market, and with room to add a quality brand such as Renault alongside our established Vauxhall business in Rochdale, with the Dacia brand alongside it, this was a good fit.

“The addition of the Renault van operation at our Middleton branch is another strong benefit.”

As there previously was no Renault or Dacia franchise in the immediate area, this is not a dealership takeover but a rebranding at the established site.

Existing employees are looking after the new brands, having been given full training and support.

Pentagon Motor Group was established in March 1991 with just one Vauxhall dealership, based in Derby.

Today, the business operates some 47 franchise outlets for major brands, from 23 sites across the East Midlands and North.
