Vantage chooses Morecambe for used car dealership

VANTAGE Motor Group has opened its fourth used car dealership, and its first in Lancashire.

It has launched Vantage Select in Morecambe, adjacent to the John Wilding Citroen dealership, also part of the Vantage group, on Whitelund Industrial Estate.

Vantage, based in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, has invested £120,000 in the 6,000 sq ft dealership which has space for up to 60 used cars.

Andrew Holmes, general manager of the Citroen Morecambe and Kendal dealerships, will oversee sales at the Select outlet.

He said: “The opening of Vantage Select in Morecambe means local people will have the benefit of Vantage’s impeccable customer service, with the option to buy some very reasonably priced cars. There is very high demand for this service in Morecambe, and we are confident we will have some very satisfied customers.”

Over the past year Vantage’s turnover has grown from £65m to more than £200m. The group employs 400 people.
