Former British Touring Car Championship star Jeff Allam is opening a second HiQ outlet in Leatherhead, six months after partnering HiQ with his first outlet in Dorking.

He was the first UK dealer to secure a partnership with HiQ.

He said: “Leatherhead was always a location that interested us and we are confident of making the business a big success.

“We have increased staff numbers by two, have again invested a good sum of money in the site and are hopeful that motorists will be enticed to our four bay store.”

HiQ’s retail manager Peter Tye said: “We are continuing to target existing franchisees as well as new entrants."
