Hendy has added BYD to its portfolio and will represent the brand in Tonbridge, Kent, from June.
A vacant 3,200 square foot vehicle showroom is being redeveloped. Renovations are due to be completed ahead of the first customers being welcomed in early June.
Paul Hendy, CEO of Hendy Group, said: “BYD is already the fastest-growing brand in the UK in 2024, and we share the brand’s ambition and customer-first ethos.
“Working with such an ambitious brand opens up many new opportunities for us, and for our customers.
“We’re anticipating strong demand in the coming months as those in and around Tonbridge visit to discover what BYD has to offer.”
There will be extensive indoor and outdoor display areas for new and used BYD models, as well as a service and MOT facility for vehicles from any brand. The site includes a nine-bay workshop.
Steve Beattie, sales and marketing director, BYD UK added: “As BYD continues to grow rapidly in the UK, our trusted retailer partners are crucial to our ongoing success.
“Hendy Group is perfectly positioned to represent us on the south coast, and bring a huge amount of experience in the automotive retail market.
“I am delighted to welcome the team at Hendy Group to join BYD on its fast-paced and exciting journey.”
