Eddie Hawthorne, managing director of the purchasing firm, commented: "As a family-run business, Arnold Clark shares the same ethos as the Swire family and will continue forward to offer genuine value for money and generating high levels of customer satisfaction."

Managing director of the Blackpool company, Tony Boyd, stated: "A combined 350 years of service will transfer to Arnold Clark.
