CAMPBELL Dallas restructuring partner Blair Milne is seeking a buyer for James Haugh (Castle Douglas) after the independent garage was placed into liquidation.

The £1 million turnover business ran into difficulties after being unable to compete with the rise of internet sales.

Mr Milne said that “the liquidation offers a good opportunity for a motor trade business or entrepreneur wanting to enter this market”.

While the Castle Douglas branch has ceased trading, the Dumfries arm of James Haugh has been unaffected by the liquidation.
