Benfield Motor Group has added a Renault dealership to its Nissan outlet in Carlisle, creating a dual-franchise hub for the region.

The new dealership is part of a £500,000 investment that includes refurbishing the Nissan showroom.

Phil Taylor, Benfield operations manager, said: “We have worked closely with Renault to draw up plans for the dual franchise dealership. It will offer improved choice with two popular marques available on one site.”
