About this company

The Trade Centre Group PLC trades as The Trade Centre Wales, operating car supermarkets in Wales, including sites at Neath and Abercynon holding hundreds of used vehicles in stock. It sells used cars and light motor vehicles to retail customers and offers hire purchase finance, acting as a credit broker rather than a lender. Vehicles carry a mandatory administration fee, and finance is secured against the vehicle purchased. The company also provides aftersales support alongside its retail showrooms. It does not sell vehicles to trade buyers or dealers, focusing solely on consumer sales of used petrol, diesel and electric cars across its Welsh locations.
