The JCB Group has rebranded Ashford Orbital Kia and Ashford Orbital Mazda to JCB Kia Ashford and JCB Mazda Ashford, effective 1 January 2026.
The dealer Group acquired Ashford Orbital Kia and Mazda in February 2024, strengthening its position as the largest Kia dealer in Kent.
Jonathan Bischoff, Owner and MD of The JCB Group, said: “To us as a group it is important that our sites carry the JCB Group name as it embodies quality and decades of trust, experience, and exceptional service.
“It was a natural progression to rename and rebrand Ashford Orbital Kia and Mazda to carry the JCB name.
“Our team in Ashford are delighted to carry on delivering fantastic service to our customers proudly donning the JCB name, as they know it is key to the ethos of our group which sets us apart from other dealers in the trade.”
In addition, the Group confirms that the Euro Commercial Trade Centre Ashford will relocate to their JCB Volkswagen Commercial Centre in Sittingbourne, where it will become Euro Commercial Trade Centre Sittingbourne.
This relocation aligns with the upcoming arrival of Kia’s Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) range.
The JCB Group is proud to have been selected as one of the first dealer groups in the UK to launch a dedicated Kia PBV Centre, which will be based at JCB Kia Ashford.
Both JCB Kia Ashford and JCB Mazda Ashford will continue to offer an extensive range of new and used vehicles, along with full aftersales support including parts, accessories, servicing, and repairs.
JCB Kia Ashford and JCB Mazda Ashford are located at Orbital Park, Ashford, Kent TN24 0HB.
