Greenhous is set to close the Waterloo Place dealership in Welshpool which it acquired from WR Davies last year.

The Shrewsbury-based group bought the site as part of a double deal, which also gave it a site in Newtown, last year.

But while the group has invested in upgrading the Newtown site - opening of a new Ford Transit centre at the facility - the Welshpool site has been deemed too “dated” and in a poor position.

In an article in the Shropshire Star Greenhous Ford dealer principal Tony Mellish said that the aim was to “minimise redundancies”.

He said: “Greenhous will work to ensure that the transition from Welshpool to Newtown is as seamless as possible.”
