Macklin Motors Rebrands As Vertu With Community-Focused Food Drive
Macklin Motors – a Scottish automotive retail brand part of the wider Vertu group – is rebranding to Vertu this month, signifying an exciting new chapter for its many dealerships across the Central Belt.
The consolidation of Macklin Motors with the Group’s wider network of Vertu dealerships marks a reinforced commitment to the communities that the retailer is part of.
Celebrating the rebrand in Scotland, Vertu is conducting a synchronised Food Drive to support several foodbanks across the Central Belt, aiming to relieve some of the pressure these organisations face during the post-Christmas period, and more specifically, the Half-Term break for schools in the region.
After collecting donations in the lead up to the Official ‘Vertu Food Drive’ on Wednesday 19th February, just shy of 20 dealerships spread across Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ayr shall simultaneously make their way to various local foodbanks, including Dunfermline Foodbank, North Ayrshire Foodbank, and several part of Edinburgh’s Food Project and Glasgow’s Community Food Network, to deposit carloads of non-perishable food contributions.
The rebrand of Macklin Motors to Vertu celebrates the growth and success of Vertu Motors plc in recent years, highlighting its strength as one of the UK’s largest automotive retailer groups.
With a network of over 200 dealerships nationwide, from Dunfermline down to Truro, representing more than 30 of the world’s leading car manufacturers, Vertu is renowned for offering outstanding customer service and quality vehicles.
Customers across Scotland can expect a new name above the door, but the same friendly faces, expert advice, and exceptional service that they’ve come to know and trust. From New and Used vehicle sales to MOTs, services, repairs and parts, Vertu is committed to delivering an exceptional experience for every customer. Vertu is proud to have been recently awarded a 98% customer satisfaction score with JudgeService.
Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu Motors plc, said: "We are proud to announce the rebranding of Macklin Motors to Vertu, as this move allows us to draw upon the strength of our wider dealership network. Whilst the name on the door is changing, our dedication to our customers and our shared communities remains the same.
“The ‘Vertu Food Drive’ planned for later this month is intended to reinforce our commitment to supporting the regions we are located in. Across the Central Belt, by working with local charities and organisations, we’re aiming to make a tangible difference to those facing food insecurity during a difficult period of the year.
“As Vertu in Scotland, we look forward to strengthening and celebrating our relationships with our local communities, whilst continuing to provide our Scottish customers with the outstanding service they deserve."
The rebranding of Macklin Motors dealerships across Scotland will be completed by the end of February 2025.
