Nearly two dozen jobs lost as car dealerships shut down

Two car dealerships have shut down after the company which runs them plunged into administration.

All 23 workers at the Kia and Suzuki showrooms in Selkirk, Scottish Borders, have been made redundant.

Leven Cars Group Limited appointed administrators on January 7, but they have now confirmed the dealerships couldn’t be saved.

They’re still trying to find buyers for two sites in Edinburgh.

Joint administrator Stuart Robb said: “We appreciate that this is disappointing news for the staff based at Selkirk. 

“Our focus is to ensure that those employees affected by redundancy there receive the best support possible.”
