Regent Automotive Group has opened the doors to its Volvo Cars Bishop’s Stortford dealership.

Regent first announced its expansion into Bishop’s Stortford in June and it’s the first dealership outside of London for the group.

The new one-acre site at Stortford Hall Industrial Estate on Dunmow Road and has created 24 new jobs across its sales, service, parts, administration and management functions.

Tracey Perry, managing director of Regent Automotive Group, said: “We’ve been hard at work over the summer to bring this dealership to life and are looking forward to becoming part of the local community.”

Regent Automotive Limited currently operates four dealerships in London, under the Volvo Cars London name (Colindale, Chiswick and two in Central London). It also has a fifth site in Hatfield, which is the base for its international and corporate sales businesses.

Volvo Cars Bishop’s Stortford will feature a six bay workshop offering MoT and servicing, plus enough room outside to display 25 used cars. Inside, the showroom will accommodate seven new vehicles and a customer waiting area with free wi-fi, a plasma TV and refreshments.
