Porsche drives Northern expansion plans with "major" new Leeds centre
Work is set to start on a “major” project to create a new automobile centre in Yorkshire.
Porsche Centre York, at Nether Poppleton, is expected to open next summer, with work starting on the site in mid-January,
The satellite Porsche Centre will complement Porsche Centre Leeds and provide space to display the range of sports cars, as well as a full workshop to support service and customer care.
The workshop will include a customer Direct Dialogue Service bay, wheel alignment bay and specialist EV diagnostic bay, as well as on site car preparation facilities.
John Tordoff, chief executive of JCT600, commented: “Having represented this iconic marque since 1967, we are proud to be one of its longest standing dealer partners in the UK and also to have developed our relationship to offer five Porsche Centres, bringing one of the world’s most sought-after sports car brands to even more customers across Yorkshire and the North East.
“We expect Porsche Centre York to be extremely popular, enabling people from the city and further afield to more easily view the full range of vehicles, and complementing the existing Porsche Centres in Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and Teesside.”
