In Brief: Vandals hit Wigan garage; Client wins for Beever & Struthers and Crowe Clark Whitehill
A WIGAN businessman has said he will not bow to vandals after his Chorley Nissan dealership on Pottery Lane in the town was targeted.
Damage to the building and to vehicles has cost the company an estimated £200,000, but director Andy Turner plans to push ahead with plans for a sale at the branch this weekend.
Staff have been working overtime on a clean-up operatio. Mr Turner said: “The damage caused by the incident does mean we’ve had to pull out all the stops to be ready in time, but everyone here is determined to make sure that mindless thugs don’t win the day.”
