Hendy Group has pumped £6m into the event of a multi-franchise dealership in Tunbridge Wells.
The dealership, representing Ford, Mazda and Kia, can be a Ford Transit Centre.
The dealership, on an ex-John Lewis website, can have the capability for eight show autos per model inside, with separate reception and ready areas for every marque.
Outdoors, Hendy will show over 60 used vehicles and business autos, and visiting clients can have entry to 32 commonplace parking areas, plus a further 10 disabled-use bays.
The location’s brand-new workshop will characteristic 15 service bays, catering for vehicles and business autos and two MOT stations.
January’s website launch will coincide with the closure of the Hendy Mount Ephraim showroom, which has been acquired by a third-party for future growth.
All present Hendy employees at Mount Ephraim are being transferred, and the enterprise can be seeking to improve the whole headcount at Kingstanding Method by recruiting for a variety of roles, together with apprentice technicians, apprentice gross sales and gross sales advisors.
Paul Hendy, CEO at Hendy Group, mentioned: “This launch represents a huge vote of confidence by Hendy Group in the capabilities of our Kent-based team and in the strong commercial potential we see in the Tunbridge Wells area.”
