Swansway Motor Group has invested in a new spraybooth facility alongside its Blackburn Audi dealership.
The facility features three spraybooths, a workshop area and a team of full-time employees. It will initially focus on non-structural repairs while providing additional capacity within the Group’s wider bodyshop network.
The Blackburn facility is one of seven sites in the group, with other bodyshops located in Crewe, Chester, Bolton, Oldham, Stafford and Carlisle,
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.”
Jonathan Rowley, director at Rowley Spraybooths, added: “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.
“We understood exactly what they needed from day one and we were able to deliver a complete, high-specification refinishing centre covering everything from the spraybooths and paint mixing room to office space and parts storage.”
