Automotive company drives growth with premises expansion

Motorserv UK has invested upwards of £200,000 in expanding its Solihull premises.

Through Canmoor, a developer and asset management company specialising in commercial property, Motorserv UK has secured two new separate ten-year leases for two buildings to support its expansion.

Situated on the Monkspath Business Park, the automotive business has secured the unit next door to its existing workshop location.

The new premises will provide the vehicles sales team with an indoor photo studio with an automated vehicle turntable, car gallery area, prep and handover bays, management offices, sales offices plus a client lounge and kitchen facility.

The additional space will enable Kamran Saleem, Motorserv UK’s managing director to increase car servicing capacity by up to 37%, in turn generating new jobs for another seven members of staff, with scope to increase this by a further 10 people in future taking the total headcount to over 40 members of full time staff.

Saleem said: “We first moved to Monkspath Business Park in 2013 at the very start of our new venture, as a Solihull resident myself I’m thrilled the business can continue to grow in the location and be an increasing presence in Solihull enterprise. We have been hitting capacity for a while now and growth has been hindered by the lack of office and workshop room. This latest expansion follows on from our 2021 acquisition of a secure vehicle compound near the NEC, where we have room for up to another 50 cars to be safely stored. The whole team is really looking forward to the next stage of our business growth, the challenges and the successes set to come.”
