CAR dealership Now Vauxhall Marlborough has closed down, it has been confirmed.

Staff from Now Vauxhall Marlborough took to social media to express their shock after turning up to work this morning to be told that the shop was closing with immediate effect and they no longer had jobs.

Customers have been told that they must contact the Swindon branch in the future and any cars on order will be delivered to the Swindon branch instead.

A staff member at Now Vauxhall group confirmed the Marlborough dealership had shut, but did not say what would happen to staff or confirm any future plans for the site or business.

Last month an anonymous source at Vauxhall’s parent company PSA Group told Automotive Management news site that a third of dealerships were at risk of being closed within a year, putting 3800 jobs at risk nationally.

At the time Vauxhall denied the claims and called them “pure speculation.”
