The transaction involved 60+ properties including 19 new leases, a freehold purchase and options to purchase 2 further properties. The share sale also brought across into the client group a number of freehold properties plus 35 existing leaseholds. In all, a further 48 operating franchise dealerships were added to the Marshall portfolio.
