A family-run firm of car dealers and repairers has bought out one of its competitors
Eastbourne-based Caffyns has taken over Ridleys Volvo of Eastbourne and Hastings.
It is not yet known whether any jobs will be created by the take-over but Caffyns chief executive Simon Caffyn promised the move would not change the way the business is run.
He said: "We are very pleased to have taken on a successful business. As a family controlled company, we aim to look after our employees and customers and all servicing work will continue as normal."
Caffyns, which first started trading in 1865, now operates from more than 30 sites across the South-East.
