Available Car has bought the site formerly known as Motorhouse 2000 at Calladine Business Park in Sutton-In-Ashfield.

The new store will open for business, branded Available Car, on Good Friday and management are currently training up the 44 existing staff, who have all been kept on.

Available Car was winner of the AM Used Car Retailer title in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Paul Arscott, operations director, said: “We have always made it clear that as a business, we want to acquire more stores and make the most of our unique market position. We believe our success stems from having a ‘no hassle approach’ to customer service and displaying varied stock at the best UK prices, both at the store and on-line.

“It has taken some time to find a suitable location for our second site, mainly because it had to compliment our existing Castle Donington supermarket whilst conquering new markets. We hope the new Sutton-In-Ashfield location will attract a mix of customers from across the regions.”

The site will display over 700 nearly new and used cars, priced from £2,999 through to £23,999. As well re-branding the building and re-establishing preparation facilities, the company expects to expand the team.

An official launch event will take place this month once the new website and store re-fit is complete and new jobs will continue to be advertised over the coming months.
