Sherwoods has agreed a deal with Town Centre owner Steve Smith which will see all of the familiar faces of the Town Centre team continue to look after any of your motoring needs at the Sunderland site.

Sherwoods Managing Director Simon MacConachie said ‘We are really excited to bring Town Centre and its great team of colleagues under the wing of Sherwoods. The team here do a great job looking after their customers which is why the business has such a great reputation for customer service. The core values of Sherwoods of great customer service and great value for customers are exactly the same as Town Centre Automobiles. We also hope to grow the business and offer even more choice to the customers and car buying public of Sunderland.

Steve Smith said. ‘I’m delighted to have completed a sale to Sherwoods Motor Group. It was really important to me, my staff and our fantastically loyal customers that Town Centre's values would continue with the new owner. I needed  to know that our award winning  customer service, a service we have prided ourselves on for over 40 years, would continue on.

In addition Sherwoods Motor Group share the same family business values, as Town Centre.  Values that  create a relaxed atmosphere with a warm welcome for everyone, a genuine care for it’s staff, plus a unique buying and aftersales experience personal to your individual needs. 

I know with Simon, Chris and the Sherwoods Team this is assured, Simon and Chris’  decision to keep the Town Centre name is really significant as it shows that whilst the ownership has changed, the same friendly faces and that unique service will be no different than it was before.’

Chris Elvidge said: Its great to announce that due to the success of the existing Sherwoods businesses, we have been able to invest in on our second Citroën franchise. The addition of another high achieving, adjacent family owned business to the Sherwoods family is extremely exciting and will enhance the performance of the Group going forward. The acquisition brings a further 26 colleagues, who we welcome into the Sherwoods family bringing the  total to 161. This acquisition also strengthens our relationship with the Stellantis group with whom we endeavour to grow further in the coming years.
