Bristol Street Motors has opened a Motornation used car dealership on the site of a former Cazoo outlet in Tamworth, following an investment of over £200,000.
The 80-car centre, on Ventura Park Road in the town of Tamworth, has created 11 new jobs, with more – including apprentices – in the pipeline.
A service centre has been created with bays for up to seven vehicles and extensive refurbishment work has been carried out internally.
Matthew Jones, general manager at Bristol Street Motors Motornation Tamworth, said:
“We are thrilled to have opened the doors of Bristol Street Motors Motornation Tamworth to the public. The first week was much busier than we expected, and so we’re now developing plans to increase the number of colleagues at the site.”
Robert Forrester, CEO of Bristol Street Motors, said: “A lot of work has gone into getting this dealership ready, and the team has done a brilliant job. It looks fantastic.
“We are proud to have revitalised this location and brought jobs to the area, with more to come in the not-too-distant future.
“There is a strong demand for used cars in Tamworth and the surrounding areas; we look forward to supporting the growth and success of Bristol Street Motors Motornation Tamworth.”
