About 340 jobs have been saved after the business and assets of a Warrington-headquartered operator of Mercedes van and truck dealerships were bought out of administration.

Roanza operated from eight sites, predominately in the North West.

Sarah O’Toole and Jason Bell of Grant Thornton UK were appointed joint administrators to both the company and its subsidiary Premier Vehicle Rental on 8 September 2020.

Certain parts of the operation were immediately sold to Estar Truck and Van, with the company set to continue operating a range of services across five sites in Trafford Park, Liverpool, Warrington, Deeside and Stoke-on-Trent.

The sale did not include sites in Doncaster, East Manchester and the second in Liverpool, which will all cease to trade with immediate effect.
