Chorley Group acquires 1.2 acre site

A leading Lancashire motor group is continuing its ambitious expansion plans, after successfully acquiring a 1.2 acre site in Chorley.

The site is opposite their current Nissan showroom on Ackhurst Road, Chorley, and will be used as a retail facility. Work is expected to start within the next three months.

“Chorley is a growing town and the council is doing a really great job in increasing employment and investment in the area. As our home town, we want to be a huge part of the growth in Chorley as well.

The site had been held within Northern Trust’s land holding for a number of years, but does not form part of the company’s core portfolio.

“After reviewing the marketing options for the site, we felt that this was a prime development site ideally suited for the motor trade with its excellent location and road side visibility. We look forward to seeing Chorley Nissan’s plans for the site come to fruition.” The Chorley Group employs more than 240 people at its sites. It was recently crowned Retail Business of the Year at the Lancashire Red Rose Awards.
