A buyer is being sought for the assets of Matthewmans, a Peugeot and Suzuki dealership in administration.

Keith Hinds, of Grant Thornton, has been in talks with other dealers over its Rotherham freehold site but without success as yet.

Matthewmans ceased trading last month with the loss of 26 jobs.

“It was underperforming and wasn’t making any profit,” said Hinds.

Chris Matthewman had headed Matthewmans since 2005 following a management buy-in of the Derek G Pike business.
