Chesterfield-based Triangle Kia has opened a new state-of-the-art aftersales facility as part of a £1.5m investment in the area.
President and CEO of Kia UK Limited, Paul Philpott, attended the opening of new Duke Street workshop, now named ‘The Kia Building’. He was welcomed to the site by David Dench, Triangle Kia’s managing director, and his colleagues, on 31 July.
Philpott said: “It’s a pleasure to be here in Chesterfield to officially open Triangle Kia’s impressive new aftersales facility. David and his team have built a reputation for doing things the right way, investing in their business, investing in their people, and always putting the customer experience first.
“This is a fantastic statement of intent, particularly as Triangle Kia continues to grow with Kia and develop its capability as a Kia PBV Centre.
“Congratulations to David and everyone at Triangle Kia; we’re proud of our relationship, and we wish them continued success as we move forward together.”
A further investment has been earmarked for refurbishment of the site, which is due to commence soon.
David Dench, managing director at Triangle Kia, said: “Triangle Kia has been part of Chesterfield for nearly 20 years, and I’m proud that we’ve continued to invest year after year to keep pace with Kia’s expanding and increasingly exciting model rang/
“Just as importantly, it’s an investment in our people and our community. We’re committed to being a strong local employer, developing skills, creating opportunities, and running a sustainable business that Chesterfield and the surrounding area can continue to rely on for years to come.”
