Dick Lovett Group will begin operating its first Aston Martin franchise this summer at Bristol.

Aston Martin Bristol will be based in a 27,000 sq ft showroom in Cribbs Causeway, near the M5 motorway, and will focus on customers from across the South-West of England.

Lynn Campbell, managing director of Dick Lovett Group, said: “We are delighted to be working alongside Aston Martin, an iconic marque of unrivalled heritage. The opening of our new state-of-the-art facility this summer, in our 50th year, will make 2016 even more special.

“The facility has been uniquely designed, nestled into Laurel Hill, and reflects Aston Martin’s core design philosophy and craftsmanship. We are dedicated to providing new and existing Aston Martin owners with a service which surpasses their expectations.”

The new business will mean the creation of 20 jobs.

Marcus Blake, Aston Martin’s general manager for the UK and South Africa, said: “2016 is going to be an exciting year for Aston Martin and we are delighted to be working alongside the Dick Lovett Group, in opening a new state-of-the-art facility in Bristol this summer.
