MJT Securities Welcomes Chery to Basildon and Southend
MJT Securities is proud to announce the introduction of Chery into its automotive division, with new representation now established across both Basildon and Southend. This marks an important milestone for the Group as it continues to expand its portfolio and bring innovative brands to customers across Essex.
The arrival of Chery UK reflects MJT Securities' ongoing commitment to growth, investment and forward-thinking partnerships within the automotive industry. As the market continues to evolve, the Group remains focused on offering modern, efficient and high-quality Chery vehicles that meet the needs of today's drivers.
A Strategic Addition to the Group
Founded in 1929, MJT Securities has a long history of operating across multiple sectors, including automotive, property and leasing. Through Toomey Motor Group, the business has built a strong reputation for representing leading manufacturers and delivering excellent customer service.
The addition of Chery cars strengthens this position further. It introduces a globally recognised brand that is rapidly expanding into European markets, bringing with it a fresh approach to design, technology and value.
Chery is one of the largest names in global car manufacturing, with a strong presence in the Chinese market and growing influence internationally. Its expansion into the UK is a key step in its global strategy, and MJT Securities is proud to support that journey at a local level.
Introducing Chery to Essex
With dealerships now open in both Basildon and Southend, customers across Essex can experience the latest Chery vehicles firsthand. These locations have been carefully selected to ensure strong coverage across the region, making it easier for drivers to discover the brand.
The Basildon site, located within the Group's established Stellantis building, sits alongside brands such as Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën and Fiat. This allows Chery to benefit from an already trusted automotive hub with experienced teams and a strong customer base.
Meanwhile, the Southend dealership extends the reach of Chery UK even further, ensuring the brand is accessible to a wider audience. Together, these locations form a strong foundation for Chery's growth across Essex.

A Focus on Modern Technology
One of the key reasons for introducing Chery to the MJT Securities portfolio is the brand's focus on advanced technology and innovation. Chery vehicles are designed to meet the demands of modern driving, combining comfort, practicality and efficiency.
A major highlight is Chery's approach to hybrid technology, including plug-in hybrid systems that offer a balance between performance and efficiency. This technology allows drivers to benefit from lower fuel consumption while still enjoying the flexibility of a petrol engine.
As the UK market continues to shift towards more efficient vehicles, Chery's hybrid offering provides a practical solution for drivers who are not yet ready to move fully electric but still want to reduce their environmental impact.
A Growing Global Brand
Chery's expansion into the UK is part of a wider global growth strategy. Having established itself as a leader in the Chinese market, the brand is now focusing on key European countries to build its international presence.
The launch of Chery UK is supported by a clear vision: to deliver high-quality vehicles that combine advanced technology with strong value. This approach has already helped the brand gain attention in a competitive market, and its presence is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
For MJT Securities, partnering with a brand that has such strong global backing and ambition is an important step. It ensures the Group remains aligned with the future direction of the automotive industry.
Supporting Customers Across Essex
At the heart of this expansion is a commitment to customers. By introducing Chery to both Basildon and Southend, MJT Securities is making it easier for drivers to explore a new generation of SUVs and hybrid vehicles.
Customers visiting either site can discover models such as the TIGGO 7, TIGGO 8 and flagship TIGGO 9, all of which showcase the brand's focus on design, technology and practicality. These vehicles are designed to meet a wide range of needs, from everyday commuting to family life.
The experienced teams at Toomey Motor Group are on hand to provide guidance, answer questions and support customers throughout their journey, from initial enquiry through to ownership.
Future Plans
The introduction of Chery marks an exciting new chapter for MJT Securities. It reflects the Group's continued investment in the future and its commitment to working with brands that are shaping the next generation of mobility.
As Chery UK continues to grow, MJT Securities is proud to play a role in its development, supporting the brand's expansion and helping bring its vehicles to customers across Essex.
With a strong foundation now in place in Basildon and Southend, the future looks bright for both Chery and MJT Securities as they move forward together in a rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
