Colley Motor Group has opened a new £250,000 Mitsubishi showroom in Maendy Way, Cwmbran.

The group held a family fun weekend to mark the opening, inviting customers to enjoy a buffet and bouncy castle to celebrate the grand opening of the new 220 square metre building that will house up to eight cars in a spacious covered setting.

Proprietor John Colley said: “We had a fantastic couple of days to celebrate the opening of the new showroom and the atmosphere at the dealership was really good. We are very excited about the future with Mitsubishi, they have seen a dramatic increase in annual sales and we are pleased to be part of it.

“This is a big investment for a private firm like ours but we are delighted with the outcome.”

Colley Motor Group, which was founded in June 1970 by John and his late brother Bob, joined the Mitsubishi family in August 2013. Since Bob passed away in 1997, John has been the sole proprietor and the dealership is very much a community-focused enterprise – it has sponsored Cwmbran Town AFC for 35 years and helps rugby, cricket and athletics clubs too.

The opening of the new showroom coincided with the company’s 45th anniversary.
