Hatfields Expands JLR Presence with New Locations in Chester and Preston
Hatfields is proud to announce the expansion of its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) network with the addition of two new retail sites in Chester and Preston. These locations join the Hatfields portfolio as part of Lithia UK’s recent acquisition of selected JLR dealerships, completed on 29 May 2026.
This development represents another important milestone in Hatfields’ continued growth, building on the strong momentum established since becoming part of the Lithia UK family in 2025. The addition of Chester and Preston strengthens our presence across the North of England, allowing us to serve more customers with the exceptional standards, expertise, and experience that define Hatfields. Customers at these locations will benefit from access to the full Jaguar Land Rover range, including Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar, alongside our commitment to outstanding customer service.
We are also pleased to welcome new colleagues into the Hatfields business, ensuring continuity for customers while enhancing our capabilities across the network. This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to growth, investment, and delivering an outstanding retail experience for Jaguar Land Rover customers, both new and existing.
Neil Williamson, Operations President at Lithia UK, said:
“We are pleased to further strengthen our Jaguar Land Rover relationship and expand our network coverage, following the successful acquisition of Hatfields last year, and we are delighted to welcome many skilled and experienced colleagues to Lithia UK.”
