“The Progress group brings valuable experience of serving customers in the region, and with the premises being so well located, they will undoubtedly be yet another success story for Suzuki.”

Dealer principal of Progress Suzuki Wayne Bailey said: “We are delighted to have joined the Suzuki network during this exciting period of growth, which will be reinforced by the arrival of the all-new Celerio and Vitara models next year.

“The brand offers today’s drivers a very appealing and high value proposition and we look forward to continuing to meet the needs of local motorists and expanding the loyal customer base that has been served by this site during the past 18 years.”
