KGM Motors UK, formerly known as SsangYong, continues its ambitious growth strategy with the appointment of TW White & Sons Limited as its latest franchise partner. This strategic addition enhances KGM’s footprint in the South East, bringing the brand’s award-winning lineup of vehicles to a wider audience through one of the region’s most respected and community-driven automotive retailers.
Established in 1964, TW White & Sons is a family-run business with over 60 years of heritage and a well-earned reputation for excellence in customer service. Operating across six locations in Surrey, South London, and Kent, the dealership employs more than 100 experienced professionals and offers a comprehensive suite of automotive services—from new and used vehicle sales to servicing, MOTs, repairs, and parts.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
Jen Westwood, Head of Business at TW White & Sons, expressed her enthusiasm about the new chapter:
“We are delighted to join the KGM franchise and embark on this exciting new chapter for our dealership. Over the past six decades, we have cultivated strong relationships with our customers and established deep roots within our local community. We look forward to introducing the impressive KGM range to our loyal customers while welcoming new ones.”
The dealership’s commitment to community engagement is evident in its ongoing support of local charities and organisations, echoing KGM Motors UK’s ethos of responsible business and customer-first values.
Showcasing KGM’s Bold New Era
Located at The Crossroads, Guildford Road in Effingham, the new showroom offers customers an opportunity to experience KGM’s dynamic vehicle range first-hand. The lineup includes the flagship KGM Rexton, versatile Musso pickup, stylish Korando and Tivoli SUVs, as well as the recently launched Torres and all-electric Torres EVX.
Also making its debut at TW White & Sons is the all-new KGM Actyon—an exciting modern reimagining of the original coupe-style SUV that first turned heads in 2005. Offered exclusively in the premium K50 trim, the Actyon combines bold styling with cutting-edge technology, embodying KGM’s progressive approach following its rebrand in January 2024. The launch also coincides with KGM’s 70th anniversary, a milestone that signals both heritage and innovation.
Aftersales customers are equally well catered for, with a full suite of servicing and maintenance options available at TW White & Sons’ Runmore Garage, located just 600 metres from the main showroom. Here, customers can access MOTs, repairs, and genuine KGM parts, all delivered with the same professionalism and personal touch that defines the dealership’s long-standing reputation.
Strengthening a Nationwide Network
Kevin Griffin, Managing Director at KGM Motors UK, welcomed the new partnership with high praise:
“We are thrilled to welcome TW White & Sons to the KGM UK family. Their outstanding reputation for delivering exceptional sales and customer service, combined with their family-focused values, aligns with what we believe in as a brand. We look forward to a successful partnership that will benefit customers across the region.”
The collaboration marks another important milestone for KGM Motors UK as it continues to build a strong, customer-centric dealer network throughout the country. As consumer demand grows for reliable, feature-rich, and forward-thinking vehicles, the partnership with TW White & Sons positions both brands to meet that demand with confidence and credibility.
