Jobs boost at new Lincoln car supermarket

Over 30 jobs are being created in Lincoln with the launch of a new Sanderson Motorhouse used car supermarket.

CD Bramall, the UK's second largest car dealership group has extensively refurbished and redeveloped the site, on Newark Road, which will open to the public on February 1st.

The new positions at the dealership, which range from valeters and technicians to sales people and sales managers, will be filled by applicants from throughout Lincoln and internally.

Commenting on the investment, CD Bramall's chief executive, Peter Jones said: "This is an exciting time for a lot of people here at CD Bramall. Lincoln is a key location for us and the company's investment in the region is testament to our confidence in the local economy. I'm sure that customers will be spoilt for choice with a massive range of over 300 used cars to choose from."

The three and a half acre site was developed by Lindsey Securities in the early 1990s and has over 10,000 sq ft of showroom space. Robin Taylor, director of Lindsey Securities said: "There has been considerable interest in the Newark Road site and I am delighted that we have attracted such a high calibre company as CD Bramall. They have exciting plans for Lincoln and we wish them every success in this new operation."

The new Sanderson Motorhouse will be headed up by Lincoln man, Brendan Hennessy.

This is seen as the arrival of the first big car supermarket that Lincoln has seen. The fact that CD Bramall has chosen to open here shows the growing confidence of businesses in what is an expanding area.
