ONE of the largest 20 motor groups in the UK, Ridgeway, has formed a new partnership with vehicle provenance specialists HPI.
Under the agreement, Ridgeway will benefit from the HPI Check, the NMR Check and Investigations, as well as the award-winning HPI Spec Check.
The agreement demonstrates Ridgeway’s continued commitment to its customers in guaranteeing the quality of its used stock and part-exchange vehicles.
Jon Head, group operations director for Ridgeway, said: ‘HPI is the first name in vehicle checks and the power of our combined brands will give our customers the highest level of confidence at every stage of the used car buying process.
‘However, it’s the support that the HPI account management team will bring to our own sales and back office teams that really makes this a winning partnership for us. The support function the Salisbury office provides is market-leading.’
Neil Hodson, managing director of HPI, said: ‘This is an exciting win for us. Ridgeway is a key industry player and we are thrilled to be to working in partnership to enhance their customers’ buying experience.
‘Our suite of products is designed to meet the needs of modern motor retailers keen to maximise profits whilst ensuring the quality of their stock.’
With outlets across central and southern England, Ridgeway is a leading new and used car dealer for manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Volkswagen and Land Rover. In addition, the company provides a wide range of manufacturer-approved aftersales services.
