🚗 EXCLUSIVE POD INTERVIEW: “It keeps me young and busy” – Graeme Potts, Eden Motors Group’s founder/CEO (& industry legend!) on his career in car retailing (E24, S12)
Apr 14, 2026
INDUSTRY LEGEND ALERT! For
this special Motor Trade Radio weekday episode – powered by Cazoo &
Motors – Curtis and Philip are joined by Graeme Potts, founder and
CEO of Eden Motor Group.
With the group celebrating its 18th anniversary, we thought it
would be a good opportunity to catch up with Graeme to chat about
the past, present and future of one of the UK’s most highly
regarded franchised dealer groups.
Launched as a solus Vauxhall business, Eden Motor Group is now
a true multi-franchise group, Eden continues to represent Vauxhall
as well as Mazda, Hyundai, MG, Skywell, Peugeot and Leapmotor. It
also has a network of authorised repairers and approved used
centres.
In our wide-ranging interview, Graeme (“I’m unashamedly a
retailer”) also discusses his approach to OEM representation,
taking on emergent brands and driving growth through the
business.
And shares how the March plate change performed for the group
and why he feels optimistic about trading in Q2 despite global
headwinds.
He also provides an update on the Institute of the Motor
Industry, which he has been chairing since last June, and industry
charity Ben, where he is a board adviser.
