Motorpoint of Burnley is celebrating its first anniversary with the unveiling of a new 'all-weather' canopy for the sales area and the construction of a dedicated pre-delivery inspection and preparation work shop.

Total investment in the improvements comes to £600,000.

The new canopy provides a covered area for over one hundred cars and construction of the workshop will commence in the New Year.

The investment comes at a time of bumper sales for the car superstore. First year sales totalled more than 4,500, including 660 cars in September.

Charles Faulkner, Motorpoint of Burnley general manager said: "Burnley has contributed significantly to help make 2001 a record year for Motorpoint. The investment at the Burnley site will allow us to continue offering quality products at unbeatable prices with the very highest levels of customer service." (December 18, 2001)
