Skywell UK has strengthened its Dealer network in Eastern England with the addition of three new sites, courtesy of new partners Abbeygate Cars and JS Holmes.

Just 30-minutes west of Norwich city centre, Abbeygate’s Wymondham showroom (located on Norwich Road), offers new and used car sales, with the addition of an equipped workshop, EV qualified technicians, and a thriving parts department, to provide full dealer sales and aftersales offering.

Less than 30 minutes east of Thetford, and equally north of Diss, Skywell will also be represented by Abbeygate from their Attleborough showroom –- ensuring great representation for Skywell across Norfolk.

Commenting on the double appointment in their 50th year in business, Gareth Bailey (Operations Director, Abbeygate Cars), said: “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and we offer a comprehensive service, in a relaxed, friendly, and non-pressured environment. Our partnership with Skywell is a fantastic opportunity and a new chapter for us in both our Wymondham and Attleborough showrooms. We join Skywell at an exciting time with the BE11 family SUV and innovative range of new models to come. We very much look forward to showcasing the Skywell brand around Norfolk.“

Celebrating 70 years in business this year, family-owned JS Holmes welcomes Skywell into its Wisbech St. Mary showroom. Showcased inside their recently refurbished showroom, offering both new and used cars, plus commercial vehicles, JS Holmes too offer a suite of aftersales facilities, including an accident repair centre, EV-ready workshop plus a local recovery service.

Commenting on their appointment, Alex Holmes (Sales Director, JS Holmes), said: “At JS Homes, we’re always looking ahead, and partnering with Skywell reflects that vision. As a new and exciting brand with a promising future in EV technology and innovative product line-ups, Skywell represents the kind of forward-thinking brand we want to bring to our customers. We’re excited to work together and be part of their journey as they grow.”

In addition to the three new franchised dealers, Skywell add an additional approved repairer site, courtesy of EV Service Hub. Their striking workshop facility, located in Tottenham, North London, focusses solely on the maintenance, servicing and repair of hybrid and electric vehicles, specialising in repairs to private hire and licenced taxis, as well as electrified light commercial vehicles for large London-based fleet operators.

David Clark, (General Manager, Skywell) said: “At such a significant milestone in both companies’ histories, the team at Skywell are thrilled to welcome Abbeygate Cars and JS Holmes to our growing network of UK Dealers. Both multi-generational, family-owned businesses, they have a passion for the automotive industry, a drive for electrification, and a clear commitment to customer service, having served the local communities for over half a century.”

“Growing our approved repairer network – who can complete required warranty work, and offer great value servicing and general maintenance work – is vitally important for Skywell to increase our UK footprint. The team at EV Service Hub, have superb facilities and EV expertise – proving that investment in people, is key to a great customer experience.”

With these confirmed appointments, Skywell’s representation across the UK, now totals 13 sales locations, with additional sites in Eastern Scotland, Manchester, Suffolk and Kent planned for launch Q4.
