“We’re always looking for ways to invest in our business so that we drive the standard in customer care in the automotive retail sector. The redevelopment of these four sites, alongside the funding provided to develop our talented workforce represents just that.

“The expansion of the dealerships is a key milestone for us, as this investment gives us the scale and resources to meet our customers’ needs today and, importantly, into the future.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how these new facilities will help colleagues both in Cribbs Causeway and Staines to continue to deliver the excellence in service that they are known for.”
