Charles Hurst invests almost £1 million in new high-tech facility
Charles Hurst Group, Northern Ireland’s biggest car retailer, today (Thursday 24th September) revealed its brand new, state-of-the-art car showroom designed exclusively for luxury brand Aston Martin.
The major investment, of almost £1 million made by the company adds an additional seven new jobs at the Boucher Road-based dealership.
Officially opened by Aston Martin Regional Director, UK and South Africa, Marcus Blake, the news comes as Aston Martin prepares to take centre stage with the upcoming premiere of Spectre, the latest instalment in the James Bond franchise. The Aston Martin DB10, designed and built exclusively for the film, was unveiled for the first time at the launch of the new showroom.
Charles Hurst – the only car retailer on the island of Ireland licensed to offer this elite brand – has constructed a bespoke, high-tech new retail unit to exacting standards for this sought-after marque, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a unique luxury interior.
Customers will have access to exclusive services such as the “Atelier”, an intimate environment where customers are invited to use their creativity and imagination to tailor their new vehicle to their own specification.
Colin McNab, Operations Director, Charles Hurst, said the new showroom underlined the company’s focus, commitment and continued investment in the world’s best car brands.
