The Peter Cooper Motor Group is continuing its support of sport, talent and community engagement by sponsoring Lashings World for another exciting season. Often described as the Harlem Globetrotters of cricket, Lashings World has built a reputation for combining elite sporting entertainment with family-friendly events and unforgettable experiences, making the partnership a natural fit for one of the South Coast’s most respected motor groups. Last year we had the pleasure of sponsoring West Indies’ legends Courtney Walsh and Curtley Ambrose.
The ongoing collaboration reflects the Peter Cooper Motor Group’s wider commitment to supporting initiatives that bring communities together while also promoting innovation, performance and excellence.
Over the years, the company has established itself as one of the region’s leading automotive retailers, representing a diverse range of world-class brands, including Volkswagen, Kia, Kia PBV, Jeep, Jaecoo, Omoda and Xpeng. Alongside these brands, the group also operates a number of prestige car showrooms located in West End, Southampton and Horsham.
Prestige Cars has become well known for its “First Car to Dream Car” approach, offering motorists an extensive choice of vehicles to suit every stage of life and every budget. From affordable first-time purchases to luxury prestige models, the business has earned an enviable reputation for quality, service and customer satisfaction across all makes and models.
As the automotive sector continues to evolve, The Peter Cooper Motor Group has also embraced the transition toward electric mobility and next-generation vehicle technology. Most recently, the company launched a new range of Kia PBV (Platform Beyond Vehicle) vans at its Hedge End dealership, significantly expanding its electric vehicle offering for both businesses and families.
The new Kia PV5 Cargo and Kia PV5 Passenger vans represent the latest development in Kia’s PBV technology, designed to meet the changing needs of modern drivers. Combining practicality, efficiency and advanced electric performance, the vehicles provide flexible solutions for commercial operators, growing businesses and customers seeking environmentally conscious transport options. All Kia vans are supplied with Kia’s industry-leading seven-year or 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty, providing additional reassurance for customers investing in the future of electric transport.
The Peter Cooper Motor Group already offers a wide selection of Kia vehicles from its Hedge End dealership following its acquisition of Kia Viking two years ago. Since then, the company has continued to strengthen its position within the electric vehicle market while maintaining its reputation for exceptional customer service and forward-thinking innovation.
Beyond automotive retail, the group has also expanded into complementary industries through businesses such as My Trusted Electrical, which is proudly celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. Part of The Peter Cooper Motor Group, My Trusted Electrical has spent the past five years delivering reliable electrical services to homes, businesses and organisations across Hampshire and neighbouring counties.
Since its launch, the company has developed four core areas of expertise. These include the installation of electric vehicle charging points for both domestic and commercial customers, supporting the growing shift toward sustainable transport solutions. The business also specialises in maintaining existing lighting systems and upgrading properties with modern, energy-efficient LED lighting technology.
In addition, My Trusted Electrical helps organisations meet important electrical health and safety requirements while delivering a broad range of installation and maintenance services across multiple sectors. Its continued growth reflects the increasing demand for trusted electrical expertise as businesses and households adapt to more sustainable and energy-efficient technologies.
Commenting on the group’s continued growth and community involvement, Managing Director Darren Cooper said: “We are proud to continue supporting Lashings World and to be involved with events that bring people together through sport and entertainment. At the same time, we remain committed to investing in the future through innovative vehicle technology, sustainable solutions and trusted local services. Whether through our dealerships or My Trusted Electrical, our focus has always been on delivering quality, reliability and exceptional customer care across everything we do.”
With continued investment across automotive, electrical services and community partnerships, The Peter Cooper Motor Group is reinforcing its position as a forward-looking business committed to supporting both customers and communities throughout the South Coast and beyond.
