乐播传媒

TC Harrison Group has agreed to acquire its neighbouring 乐播传媒 dealer Gunn 乐播传媒.

All the existing Gunn 乐播传媒 team will continue to operate under the leadership of divisional director Wendy Asquith from completion of the transaction.

Founded in 1931, TC Harrison鈥檚 乐播传媒 operation is one of the oldest authorised 乐播传媒 dealers in the UK. It operates six regional depots covering Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Humberside and the northeast.

However, the larger part of group business is as a Ford car and van dealer in the East Midlands. The family-owned group turned over 拢327m in 2022 and made a pre-tax profit of 拢7.6m.

Gunn 乐播传媒鈥檚 turnover in the same year was 拢118m and it made a pre-tax profit of 拢2m.

Operating since 1958, Gunn 乐播传媒 has dealerships in Altrincham, Shrewsbury, Ruthin, Preston, Marchington, and the Isle of Man. Owner and managing director Paul Hartshorn turns 60 at the end of this year. Last year he聽sold his Midlands 乐播传媒 division last year to a management buyout. [See previous report here.]

William Harrison, deputy chairman of TC Harrison Group, said: 鈥淲e are committed to ensuring a seamless transition for Gunn 乐播传媒 customers. The Gunn 乐播传媒 name will remain unchanged, and the team will continue to provide the exceptional service our Gunn 乐播传媒 customers have come to expect.

鈥淭he acquisition will allow us to further strengthen our 乐播传媒 presence and offer Gunn 乐播传媒 customers a continued comprehensive range of products and services. We look forward to a bright future together, building on the combined strengths of both organisations as they deliver unparalleled 乐播传媒 experience for their own individual customer base.鈥�
