A new #mitsubishi dealership has opened in Ashford as the brand continues to expand in the #uk.
Mitsubishi Motors in the #uk has been the fastest-growing mainstream car brand two years in a row and Ashford #mitsubishi is the 12th new #mitsubishi dealership to open in 2015.
The dealership, which is part of Ashford Orbital, will initially be run from a temporary showroom at its well-established site on Orbital Park, before moving into a renovated showroom on the same site next summer. The new partnership has created a number of jobs, including a new Sales Manager, Simon Lacey.
Dealer Principal Ray Kemp said: ‘We are very pleased to be opening a new #mitsubishi dealership in Ashford. Over the last few years our dealership has undergone a major refurbishment and this is another step in the development of our business. This is an exciting time for #mitsubishi, which has seen fantastic growth, and an exciting time for us. There are a number of new models in the pipeline and we are delighted to be part of this ongoing success story.’
Ashford Orbital is a privately-owned company, which took over the dealership in 2008 and now employs 36 people, working with a number of brands.
Lance Bradley, Managing Director of #mitsubishi Motors in the #uk, said: ‘I’m delighted to welcome Ashford #mitsubishi to the #mitsubishi family at this exciting time. The level of customer service our dealers provide is one of our key strengths and I am confident Ashford #mitsubishi will be a fantastic addition to the network. I wish everyone there success for the future.’
