Peter Vardy reveals new Scots plans 17 | 12 | 2014
SCOTLAND'S MOST PIONEERING motor group, Peter Vardy, has unveiled details of its new state-of-the-art Jaguar Land Rover dealership which will open in Aberdeen later this year.
The custom-designed premises on Wellington Road are being built on the current Glencraft site. The new facility will have a 125-bay indoor used car showroom, a 21-bay new car showroom — including space for the new Jaguar XE (pictured) — and a 45-bay demonstrator and new car external display.
The dealership will also incorporate a 'retail focus' section on the ground floor and will feature a dedicated handover lounge and bays.
A business lounge will provide facilities to stay interconnected and there will be a cafe and children's zone. Presentations to customers will be made by highly trained staff using iPads and tablets in the specially designed consultation areas.

The aftersales facility will feature all of Peter Vardy's industry-leading service offerings within a 28-bay workshop with a process-driven parts and service layout.
"Jaguar and Land Rover are premium brands and we intend our new dealership to reflect the quality, workmanship and sheer excitement of the vehicles we will be selling and maintaining," Peter Vardy explained.
"We are very looking forward to welcoming the people of Aberdeen and Scotland to share in one of the most exciting ventures the company has ever undertaken."
Peter Vardy donates 10% of annual profits to charity and supports the communities in which it operates. In Aberdeen, it is partnering with Glencraft, the Aberdeen social enterprise charity which provides career opportunities for disadvantaged, disabled and visually-impaired employees.
As a result of the partnership and support from Peter Vardy, Glencraft has been able to moving to new modern premises at the site currently occupied by Peter Vardy Aberdeen Vauxhall.
"This is an extraordinary opportunity which secures Glencraft’s long term future," Carl Hodson, general manager at Glencraft, said.
