West Midlands dealer group Arbury has bought a former Europcar rental centre in Coventry to open as a new outlet next year.

Arbury, which has six dealerships, has not yet announced which brand it will sell through the new site, but is investing £1 million into the development.

Managing director David Stenning said it was a prime site for a dealership and the company had been looking to acquire a site to open a new Coventry dealership and this was perfect for their requirements.

The company, which employs 165 people, currently sells Peugeot, Skoda, Citroen, Suzuki and Fiat in Nuneaton, Leamington, Lichfield and Walsall.
