The Times reports that the Group, could go into administration in the next few days – putting 800 jobs at risk.

Camden supplies cars to most of the major vehicle rental companies, including Avis, Europcar and Hertz.


However, it also runs 7 new car dealerships, in Croyden, Luton and Northamptonshire. These franchises sell Fords, Nissans, Renaults and Vauxhalls.

Car Dealer will be following this depressing development throughout the week…
