Lancashire motor group Bowker has revealed the first pictures of its new planned headquarters building in Preston.

The proposed development has been designed by Preston-based architectural and planning consultancy practice Cassidy + Ashton.

The ground floor has been earmarked for a new dealership - Bowker motor group’s tenth - and the home of the recently-acquired BMW Motorrad operation currently trading as Southport Superbikes and the first floor features an administration suite.

The detailed plans extend the current building by 4500 square feet providing in total 13,000 square feet of space at a prominent Preston docklands gateway location. The site is currently occupied by event management company Glasgows, who are moving to new premises.

Managing director at Bowker Motor Group Tom Fox said: “We have worked closely with Cassidy + Ashton to design a building worthy of this landmark location. We have built and refurbished many dealerships now. Each time, we aim to go one better than the last, with a focus on the kind of quality and luxury befitting the prestige automotive brands we represent.

“The location of this building adds an extra dimension. It will become part of the lives of thousands of dockland motorists every day. And, as you can see from the plan drawings, its a responsibility we haven’t taken lightly. We hope to create an iconic new commercial building to be enjoyed by customers old and new.”
