Porsche GB is planning to open the largest Porsche centre in the UK on a new site in Hatfield.

Groundwork has already started on the 2.5-acre site and the new centre, which will be operated by the Porsche Retail Group, is scheduled to open this September.

The plans for the new Porsche Centre Hatfield will be based around a 3,000 sq metre area to create a 35-car showroom.

The facility will be equipped with a 15-bay workshop and four customer handover bays for the collection of new and used vehicles.

The increase in vehicle capacity at the site will lead to the staff numbers increasing to approximately 60 in total; these positions are expected to be filled by staff already employed in the Porsche Retail Group.
