Listers invests £1m in Coventry dealership
A COVENTRY-based automotive company has invested almost £1m to give one of its city dealerships a major extension and makeover.
City firm Deeley Construction has just completed the work at Listers Volkswagen Coventry in Quinton Road in time for the new registrations at the start of the month.
The job was completed on time and on budget by using all local major sub-contractors.
The work has seen the creation of new handover and MOT bays, an extension to the showroom area and new offices inside the main dealership building.
The work, all to Volkswagen Group specification, is part of an on-going upgrade of dealerships across the country.
It is the 20th major project carried out by Deeley for Listers, which operates around 50 dealerships across the country for a range of leading brands, and involved Deeley sourcing new temporary offices for dealer staff while the work was underway.
Martin Gallagher, managing director of Deeley Construction, said: “Listers and Deeley are Coventry companies which operate across the country but it is always pleasing to work in our home city.
“This work has made a considerable difference to the dealership and we are really pleased with the results.
One primary local contactor used on the job was diamond drilling and concrete sawing company D-Drill.
Managing director Julie White said the companies had worked together for 45 years.
“We do jobs in all areas of the UK, but have worked for the Deeley Group since we first set up the company,” she said.
