Richard Cort Italia has gone into voluntary liquidation, with the loss of 19 jobs.

The Fiat and SsangYong dealership in Bury was run by Richard Cort after his previous dealer group, Richard Cort Motor Group, went into administration in 2006 after suffering from the collapse of MG Rover.

The Bury dealership ceased to trade in late January and accountants from Royce Peeling Green were instructed to begin a creditors voluntary liquidation.

In a statement on its Facebook page, the company said: "Thank you to all our customers, but unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control Cort’s Ltd has had to close its doors."
