Martin &amp; Son is a well-known dealership in Killyleagh, County Down with years of history. Back in 1907, the family-run business was first established as a cycle manufacturer. Since then, the business has been loyal to selling Longbridge-built vehicles; so it seemed fitting for the family to bring in the latest range of MGs<\/p>\n<p>John Martin, Dealer Principal of T.M. Martin &amp; Son, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve had an association with cars built in Longbridge for many years, so to keep the tradition going we wanted to get MG into our showroom again after all this time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been working for the family business since 1961; which at the time made up three generations in the business. We have always prided ourselves on giving our customers the best customer service, for which we have been awarded Masters of Quality many times, and we look forward to extending this out to our new customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Cheyne, MG\u2019s Head of Sales and Marketing, said: \u201cWe are really pleased to welcome T.M. Martin &amp; Son to the network; it\u2019s great to welcome onboard a dealer with such a rich history.<br \/>\n\u201cWith this dealer becoming our third in Northern Ireland, we\u2019re glad to see our presence is growing in this area and we hope to do the same with others areas in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Northern Ireland car dealer with over 100 year\u2019s history is the latest \u00a0to join the MG Motor UK franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":24041,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","cat-1-id","has_thumb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
