Car broker Greenhous Group has expanded its physical presence by acquiring a former BCA in Oxfordshire.
The Shropshire-based dealer group has become the lease holder at the Upper Heyford site as it looks to carry out ambitious plans for growth.
The Top 100 car dealership company has already seen its geographic footprint grow to more than a hundred acres in the past year, and bosses hope to expand it further in 2024.
The Upper Heyford site is strategically five miles from the M40 and will provide Greenhous with a central base, which will be used for vehicle preparation and storage, electric vehicle charging and fleet control solutions.
In the future, it is also planned to install renewable energy infrastructures in accordance with the company’s green commitments.
Ashley Passant, General Manager of Automotive & Van Operations at Greenhous Group, said: “We are very excited about this new step in our current expansion journey.
“The new site on the outskirts of Bicester will give us a central base in the UK and the ability to service up to 40,000 cars a year, reinforcing our position as a fleet supplier of choice for our consumers and manufacturing partners.
Car Dealer reported last January that BCA was leaving the site, following the expiry of its lease there.
The move put many jobs at risk, and operations were moved to the company’s facility in Corby, about 60 miles away.
A spokesman for the company told Car Dealer at the time: ‘BCA continues to evolve its operating model in line with the changing external environment and needs of our customers to ensure we continue to provide market leading service and support.
“BCA continues to invest heavily in the scale and diversification of our physical fleet, creating amenities and strengthening our functions in spaces such as cosmetic and mechanical improvement, as well as strengthening remarketing functions in our vehicle preparation centers. “
