When did Lookers buy Charles Hurst?
In 1996, Charles Hurst was bought by the Lookers Group, one of the top motor retail groups in the UK, which was also established in the early 1900s. After the acquisition, Charles Hurst retained its trading name and, together with Lookers, the company continues to thrive. Lookers is a British car dealership chain in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It represents multiple brands, and is based in Altrincham.
