AN MG Rover car dealership in Kidderminster is set to close tomorrow.

Phoenix Venture Motors, on Worcester Road, is the latest branch of the dealership chain to shut its doors.

The news follows the demise of the Longbridge-based car manufacturer last month.

Four members of staff were on duty at the shop this week with the others having already left to find alternative employment.

MG Rover's administrators, Pricewaterhousecoopers, have already closed five dealerships and announced the demise of the Kidderminster branch and another in Romford, Essex this week.

Four dealerships now remain, in Preston, Chorley, Coventry and Hatfield.

At the end of 2003, Phoenix Venture Motors had a turnover of £80 million but a reported loss of £2.5 million.

Rob Hunt, joint administrator and partner, last month said MG Rover owed Phoenix Venture Motors "a substantial sum of money".
