Both Dennis Horton and SEAT are showing our commitment to the enterprise by spending a great deal on the refurbishment and extension of the building, making the facility one of the most customer friendly in the City.
Our company mission statement is to provide the very best customer service in a friendly and efficient manner. The new dealership will undoubtedly add to customer satisfaction.’
William Wall of agents Banks Long & Co added ‘The local property market continues to improve following a difficult 2009. The fact that we were able to complete an off-market deal to a strong local business proves that a pro-active targeted approach to marketing will always reap dividends for clients.’
