MG welcomes latest West Midlands dealer
With almost 50 years family history behind it, a passion for working with the community and giving their customers the best service, MG Motor UK is thrilled to welcome Bunning of Wolverhampton as its newest dealer.
The family run business, which is owned by Aaron Bunning and his grandfather, Dennis, was established in 1967. Since then, Aaron, operating as a sole independent trader, has worked incredibly hard with his team to build it up to the company it now is.
Aaron said: “We are really looking forward to representing a British brand that is so recognised. Once we heard everything about MG and got to know the brand and its customers more, we knew we wanted to work with a manufacturer that is only going to continue to grow more and more.”
Aaron was keen, after joining the business three years ago, to make the dealer stand out amongst all those in the surrounding area by doing something different. He already believes they stand out by delivering a warm, family feel and true teamwork to deliver the best to each customer, yet he was looking for more so Aaron decided to start supporting a local cause; ‘The Way Youth Zone’.
Aaron said: “The Way is a fantastic place for eight to 25-year-olds to spend their time and get off the streets. I raised almost £400 for them last year and they were so pleased, as we were the first business to give them money. From then on I knew I wanted to continue supporting them and I haven’t stopped since. I’m so pleased that they will be coming to our launch event in April.”
Not only does Bunning support the community, it also makes sure all its customers are given the best service with a bit of fun thrown in too.
Aaron added: “We run a monthly track day for our customers to let them play around in their cars, gain driving guidance and expertise from professionals as well as having a fun day out.”
Aaron’s passion for the track stems from his grandfather, who used to race motorbikes. In his spare time Aaron races MGs and is planning to put his race car on display at the showroom launch in April.
Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing for MG, said: “It’s fantastic to be welcoming Aaron and his team to the MG dealer network. It’s always great when we find a dealer that does something a little bit different to engage its customers and attract more. We’re really looking forward to working with Bunning and the passion they bring.”

About MG Motor
The iconic British MG brand can trace its history back to 1924 and is world famous for making stylish cars that are fun to drive and own and are sold at remarkably affordable prices. Modern MGs, which are designed, engineered and finally assembled in Longbridge, Birmingham, continue this long and rich MG tradition.
Two cars currently come off the Longbridge assembly lines: the MG6 and the MG3 with several models planned for the immediate and longer-term future.
The MG6 is a medium-sized fastback offering fantastic dynamic handling, high levels of interior comfort and a tremendously spacious cabin area with a cavernous boot. The MG6 won the category ‘£17,500 and under’ in the Caravan Club Towcar of the Year Awards in 2015. It also won the 2014 Auto Express Driver Power Best Handling Award.
The MG3 is a new generation supermini which brings fun and style to this sector of the market at very affordable prices. The 1.5-litre petrol-powered car can also be personalised, so owners have the option of giving their car their own style-statement.
MG was voted the fourth best manufacturer in the UK in the Auto Express Driver Power Awards in 2015. MG was the fastest growing brand in Britain in 2014 as shown by official figures issued by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. Currently MG has the fastest growing network of dealers in the UK as sales continue to surge.
