Description
Swansway directors Peter, John and David Smyth reveal the ethos behind their successful family car dealer business in this brand new podcast, sponsored by Mann Island Finance. The firm was started in 2003 by the Smyth brothers’ father, Michael, after more than 35 years' experience in the motor trade, having already founded – and sold on – RRG Group. Swansway prides itself on being family-run and these days represents Audi, Jaguar Land Rover, Honda, Peugeot, Seat and Volkswagen in the north west.  The firm also runs a VW commercial vehicle centre, an accident repair site and a number of Motor Match used car dealerships. Last year the business made £22.3m profit despite a marginal fall of revenue on the previous year to £819m.
