Swansway Motor Group is investing in its network of seven bodyshops. It has expanded its bodyshop operations with the addition of a new spraybooth facility alongside its Blackburn Audi dealership and plans to add another at Preston Audi.
The Blackburn facility forms part of Swansway’s network of seven bodyshop sites, located across Crewe, Chester, Bolton, Oldham, Stafford and Carlisle, with Blackburn becoming the latest addition.
Jonathan Rowley, director at Rowley Spraybooths, said: “We’re proud to have worked alongside Swansway Motor Group once again on this project.
This is the latest in a number of installations we’ve completed for the group and that long standing relationship really shows in how smoothly a project of this scale comes together.
“It’s a real testament to the trust Swansway has placed in us over the years and we look forward to supporting them as their network continues to grow.”
The facility, which opened in October, features three spraybooths, a workshop area and a team of full-time employees.
It will initially focus on non-structural repairs, supporting Blackburn Audi’s body repair requirements while providing additional capacity within the Group’s wider bodyshop network.
Mark Trevers, bodyshop manager at Swansway Motor Group, said: “The addition of the Blackburn unit is another positive step in the development of our bodyshop operation. It gives us dedicated capacity to support Blackburn Audi, while helping us continue to develop our repair capabilities across the Group.
“We’re always looking at how we can make the best use of our facilities and resources, ensuring we have the right people and equipment in place to meet demand.”
“We’re also planning to add another spraybooth unit at Preston Audi. This is part of our ongoing investment in our bodyshop facilities and our aim to build capacity where it’s needed.”
