The 16 specialist dealerships all belong to the brand’s existing UK network of 200-plus outlets.

Robert Handyside, Citroen’s commercial vehicle operations manager, said: “With increasing competition customers are demanding ever higher levels of sales and aftersales service. “Our new commercial vehicle specialist dealer network will provide a level of additional services to those already provided by our existing dealer network.” The specialists will have a wider range of new Citroen LCVs in stock, as well as more demonstrators and a wider choice of Citroen approved used LCVs. Citroen has also developed a more comprehensive LCV training programme for those appointed. The specialist sites have been strategically placed throughout the UK, spanning from Citroen Edinburgh to the Freeborn dealership in Southampton.
