Discover LEPAS with Bowker Motor Group
Bowker Motor Group is a family-owned automotive retail group with an established presence across Lancashire and the North West.
The Bowker name first became part of Lancashire’s transport history in 1919. Bowker Motor Group was later established in 1984, beginning a new chapter focused on automotive retail and customer care.
Today, the Group operates locations across Preston, Blackburn and Bolton and represents a portfolio of respected automotive brands. Throughout its development, Bowker has remained committed to building long-term customer relationships and delivering high standards of service.
We conduct business with integrity and enthusiasm, combining the values of a long-established family business with a forward-looking approach to modern motoring.
More Than a Century of Lancashire Heritage
Bowker’s story began with a belief in connecting people and places.
That same people-first outlook continues to shape the way we work today. Although vehicles and technology have changed considerably, our aim remains straightforward: to understand what our customers need and provide knowledgeable, personal support they can trust.
Our relationship with customers does not end when a vehicle leaves the showroom. From advice and vehicle handover to servicing and ongoing ownership support, we work to create relationships that last.
It is this combination of heritage, local knowledge and enthusiasm for the future that makes Bowker Motor Group a natural partner for the arrival of LEPAS in the UK.
Introducing LEPAS to the UK
LEPAS is a new design-led, electrified automotive brand from Chery International.
Founded in 2025 and making its UK debut in 2026, LEPAS joins the growing Chery International brand portfolio in Britain. Every LEPAS model is designed to combine expressive styling, intelligent technology and electrified performance.
The brand has been created for drivers who approach life with confidence and intention and who want their vehicle to feel as considered as the other choices they make.
Its planned UK range includes hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, beginning with the LEPAS L8 large five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV.
Why Bowker and LEPAS?
Bowker Motor Group and LEPAS share a commitment to quality, progress and customer experience.
For LEPAS, entering the UK market is about more than introducing new vehicles. It is about building a trusted retail network capable of representing the brand’s design, technology and ambitions.
For Bowker, becoming a LEPAS retailer represents an opportunity to give Lancashire motorists greater choice as the automotive industry moves towards an increasingly electrified future.
Together, Bowker and LEPAS offer the energy of a new automotive brand supported by established local knowledge and customer care.
