The dealerships, which employ 110 people and are expected to turn over GBP40m in 2009, will trade under the Volvo Cars London name.
The management buy-out was led by Regent Automotive Limited Managing Director Tracey Perry, who was instrumental in leading negotiations with HR Owen and has worked with the Volvo brand throughout her 26-year career.
“This is a fantastic operation with excellent potential, a loyal team of staff and a great brand in Volvo,” said Perry.
Volvo Cars London sites are located in Marylebone (Central London), Colindale (North London), and the Volvo network’s flagship retailer in Chiswick (West London), together offering a full suite of new and used car sales, servicing, parts, corporate sales and rental.
