BORDER cars has acquired Ayr Mazda from Glen Henderson following the retirement of 79-year-old owner Mr. Henderson.
The dealership took on the Mazda franchise in 2009 and has delivered strong volumes since its opening.
Brett Hague, Mazda UK’s senior manager, franchising and network development said: ‘Glen Henderson has done a first class job for Mazda over the last couple of years; in fact, Mazda’s market share in the region has been more than four times the national average.
‘Now, with Borders Cars adding Ayr to its well-established Mazda portfolio we have another experienced and well-respected company who, I’m sure, will help the Mazda business grow even further.’
Calum Watson, who helped launch the Mazda dealership in Ayr for Glen Henderson in 2009, returns to run it for Borders Cars. ‘It’s a great business and a great team of people looking after Mazda customers in Ayrshire. It will be ‘business as usual’ for Mazda customers and staff. We have a huge opportunity with Mazda continuing the success Glen Henderson has already had in the area,’ he said.
