A new used van and truck centre to serve the North East has been opened by Broadway Motor Company.
Situated in Cowpen Lane, Billingham, it is within easy reach of Gateshead and Newcastle in the immediate vicinity and is expect to attract buyers from areas such as Scotland, Northumberland, Teeside and North Yorkshire.
The new site, which is on the location of a former Ford dealership offering excellent visibility to potential buyers, covers 1.5 acres in total and has a capacity of around 90 vehicles. It replaces previous, much smaller Broadway premises in Gateshead.
Broadway Motor Company has been one of the leading used commercial vehicle specialists in the UK for almost 30 years with branches in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Stoke on Trent, Rotherham and Derby as well as Billingham.
The company offers an extensive selection of car derived vans, short and long wheel base vans, minibuses, MPVs, tippers, flatbeds, crew cabs, Luton box vans, trucks and more from major manufactures including Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota and Mercedes Benz.
Ian Griffiths, Sales Leader, said: “The North East is an important area for used commercial vehicle sales and we are pleased to be able to open these new premises in a prime location, a move very much prompted by strong demand for the kind of vehicles that we are able to offer to customers in this part of the country.
“While the used commercial vehicle market as a whole has been extremely unpredictable over the last year, business for Broadway has remained strong. Certainly, the high quality, three year old, one owner stock in which we specialise has been finding a market, often as a value-for-money alternative to a new vehicle.”
