Vertu Motors is set to complete a £1.5 million upgrade of its Bristol Street Motors Nissan dealership in Sheffield – doubling the size of the franchise site.

A new modern service area, improved customer waiting facilities and two indoor handover bays will be central to the new facilities offered at the Attercliffe Road site.

A larger used car display area, meanwhile, will accommodate an additional 30 used cars, while the introduction of a dedicated van display and a local business consultation area promises to bolster the dealership’s fleet and business provision.

Bristol Street Motors said in a statement that the significant investment meant that the dealership would become “one of the largest Nissan Dealer locations in the North of England”.

David Orriell, general manager at Bristol Street Motors Sheffield Nissan, said: “The investment demonstrates the confidence that Bristol Street Motors has in the Sheffield area and the Nissan franchise.”

Orriell said that the growth of the site had enabled the business to recruit additional members of staff, adding that the increased vehicle capacity and refurbished features would also “enhance our current customer experience”.

He added: “We have bolstered our business and local fleet centre, with a dedicated van area and consultation section, and we are hoping that local companies in the area will take advantage of this.

“The dealership and facilities look fantastic, we have a brilliant team in place and we look forward welcoming customers to see the finished result.”
