Multi-franchise dealer group Lookers have revealed plans for two new multi-million pound dealerships in Glasgow, one for Jaguar and one for Volvo which will both be managed and operated by the firm’s Scottish subsidiary, Taggarts Motor Group.

Lookers have acquired a 4.8-acre site at Hillington Park, just off the M8 motorway in Glasgow. With planning permission now secured, construction is earmarked to get under way before the end of this year before a grand opening in mid-2017, creating up to 100 jobs.

Talking about the plans, Gordon Haining, Franchise Director, Lookers plc, said, “Glasgow and Scotland has long been part of Lookers’ success and we are delighted to make further significant investments which help to support our long-term growth in the region.

“To demonstrate our commitment to leadership and excellence in the market, these new, state-of-the-art facilities will showcase the Jaguar and Volvo brands in stunning, spacious surroundings designed to transform the customer experience.”

Lookers say that the Jaguar dealership will follow Jaguar’s latest ‘ARCH’ retail concept design, while the new Volvo showroom will feature Swedish-inspired contemporary retail design techniques and environmentally-sound materials.
