Steer Automotive Group announces C&C acquisition

Steer Automotive Group has accelerated its expansion strategy with the acquisition of C&C Vehicle Services.

C&C has sites in Oldham, Chesterfield, Coventry, Sunderland and Wolverhampton.

Managing Director Mark Newnes said, “Steer were looking to develop a commercial vehicle sector offering, and C&C will be the foundation of their steps into this new arena. They are committed to driving growth within our business whilst supporting our current customers, suppliers and employees. This acquisition will enable us to invest in the future and build a national commercial network.”

Financial Director Darren Charlesworth added, “This is a really exciting deal for C&C and our staff. What really stood out to us was that Steer bring loads of energy and positivity to the table. Not only do they have a track record of looking after their people, a priority for me, they have a drive and enthusiasm to develop them. Their industry leading apprenticeship programme is a shining example of that. They are also committed to supporting our growth aspirations by increasing the number of workshops we have across the country.”
