MG network spreads to Northumbria

Richard Hardie MG has become the first MG Motor approved dealership in Northumbria. It will also act as a parts centre.

Situated 15 miles north of Newcastle in Ashington, the dealership is the first to open in Northumbria and hit the ground running after selling their first MG before lunchtime on opening day.

Richard Hardie MG provides full maintenance and aftersales support, with experienced technicians trained to work specifically on the MG range. The dealership will also act as a parts centre, with an extensive range of accessories for both the MG3 and ZS available.

Nick Hardie, managing director of Richard Hardie MG, said, ‘We were looking to expand our existing brand portfolio and have been impressed by MG’s growth in sales and popularity over the past few years. MG represents a true value-for-money offering without compromising on the specification or technology and are set to add more cars to the range in the coming months.

‘As Northumbria’s first MG dealer, we’re excited to share our passion for the brand with our customers and look forward to welcoming them into our showroom.’

David Allington, network development manager at MG Motor UK, said, ‘As part of MG’s long-term growth strategy, we are continually looking to expand our reach to previously unserved areas. Richard Hardie MG represents our first entry into the market in Northumbria, drastically improving accessibility to dealer and service facilities. We look forward to working with the team at Richard Hardie MG going forward, bringing both the ZS EV and future models to their forecourt.’
