Hodgson Motor Group

A family company from the start, the business was built up and then joined forces with the SAAB franchise in the early 1960's. The partnership with Saab lasted until 1975 when Mitsubishi Colt was taken on. The partnership with Mitsubishi Colt continued until 1985 and Hodgson were then reunited with the brand again in 2009. Hodgson Motor Group went on to be one of the top selling car dealerships nationwide for several years and in 1987, after a spell with both the Hyundai and Isuzu franchises, the switch was made to Mazda cars. The nineties were a period of rapid growth for the business. In 1992 the business was relocated to the Silverlink and into purpose built premises. 1998 saw the introduction of Suzuki, and two years later in 2000, Toyota was launched in a further custom built facility next to our other two existing dealerships. Taking the opportunity to build on the Toyota brand, The Hodgson Motor Group acquired the vacant Minories Honda site near the MetroCentre and earmarked it for a massive £4M re-development project, which opened for business in late 2005. Hodgson went on to be top selling dealers for all the brands that we support nationwide. The Hodgson H car badge.
