Westover Group has opened the doors at a new Jeep showroom following six months of works to establish the new facility.

The family-owned group welcomed the Jeep brand with the opening of the showroom on Stony Lane, Christchurch, earlier this month.

Westover stalwart, Martin Hayward, has taken on the role of brand manager to lead the sales operation at the new site.

Speaking to Blackmore Vale Magazine, Hayward said: “We're thrilled that we've been able to maintain a presence for Jeep in the area.”

“We're all really excited to have opened the doors on our new showroom and know that our visitors are going to be just as inspired as we are."

The new Westover site boats a fully equipped workshop and is the latest addition to a 29-site group operating in Dorset and Wiltshire.

The business recorded a turnover of £249.4 million in its last full-year accounts, published in 2014.
