Border Cars, one of the leading motor retail groups in south west Scotland, has acquired the Glen Henderson franchises. The deal includes the recently opened Mazda dealership in Ayr. 

Mazda Ayr becomes Border Cars’ fourth Mazda outlet. The acquisition of the Glen Henderson business is expected to provide long-term stability since it provides Border Cars with a large market area.

Brett Hague, Mazda UK’s senior manager, franchising and network development, says: “Glen Henderson has done a first class job for Mazda over the past couple of years. Now, with Border Cars adding Ayr to its established Mazda portfolio we have another experienced and well-respected company who will help the Mazda business grow further.”

Border Cars, founded in 1977 by Mike Fusco, already has Mazda dealerships in Dumfries and Carlisle and last year added a third Mazda site in Workington following a £3m investment. The company has an uninterrupted history of growth; annual turnover is in excess of £75m and it employs 234 staff.
