Park’s Motor Group has opened a new Mitsubishi dealership in Lanarkshire, Scotland.

The family owned business will run the franchise from a temporary showroom until its new purpose-built showroom is completed, just off the M8 motorway, in Whifflet Street, Coatbridge.

The move has created a number of jobs, with a new sales team being headed up by sales manager Malcolm Lowe.

Malcolm, who has worked for Park’s for 23 years, said: “This is a very exciting time for everyone at Park’s and we’re delighted to be joining forces with Mitsubishi Motors.”

Park’s will become the 16th new dealership to open this year for the growing brand.

Managing director of Mitsubishi Motors UK Lance Bradley said: “We continue to recruit some fantastically high-quality dealers and we are still looking for more. Park’s have the choice of any manufacturer so the fact they have chosen to come with us shows these are exciting times for Mitsubishi Motors.

“We are confident this will prove a successful relationship and we wish the new dealership all the best for the future.”

The group currently has 45 outlets representing 20 other brands, with dealerships in Ayrshire, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, West Lothian and Fife.
