Vertu Honda has opened its new Morpeth dealership, creating seven new jobs, following a £430,000 investment.

The dealership, on Coopies Lane, was previously a servicing centre for adjoining Bristol Street Motors Ford Morpeth.

Specifically built to meet the latest Honda guidelines, the facilities at the dealership include diagnostic equipment in the service area, whilst on the showroom floor customers are able to construct their own vehicle specification using interactive vehicle creation tablets. In addition, there is also a children’s area, with a Nintendo Wii and several games.

The investment has seen the creation of seven new full time roles in sales and servicing, with apprenticeships in the pipeline for later in the year.
