Acquisition background

AM100 completed the purchase of the Volvo dealerships in Havant and Petersfield earlier this year. Both sites were previously run under a different dealer name.

The acquisition brings two new showrooms under the AM100 umbrella, increasing the group’s footprint in the region.

Rebranding rollout

Following the purchase, AM100 applied its corporate identity to the Havant and Petersfield locations. Signage and marketing materials now display the AM100 Volvo branding.

The updated branding is visible to customers in both showrooms and on the group’s online platforms.

Geographic impact

With eight Volvo sites, AM100 now offers a broader coverage area across Hampshire and neighbouring counties. The expanded network gives the group a stronger regional presence.

This wider reach can assist in stock movement and customer referrals between the locations.

Dealer network growth strategy

The rebranding aligns with AM100’s plan to consolidate its Volvo representation under a single brand. Consistent branding helps streamline parts ordering, service standards and marketing efforts.

The group may consider further acquisitions, although no specific plans have been announced.

What this means for dealers

Uniform branding across eight Volvo sites simplifies parts and service procurement for dealer groups working with AM100. It also provides a clearer point of contact for manufacturers and finance partners.

Dealers can expect more coordinated promotional campaigns and potentially better trade terms as the network gains buying power.
