The family run business has gradually increased over the years, now employing more than 80 staff and last year selling over 1000 new and used vehicles. Members were given a very interesting tour of the premises, led by Roger Young. We were shown around the showroom and work shop- which has the capacity for 14 bays, as well as a 4 wheel alignment adjustment area. We were also shown around the 'Engineering Dealership' area- run by Mark Young- where there was a vast range of products from (Nugent) trailers and quad bikes to yard scrapers and livestock crushes. Here we also saw the Isuzu vehicles which are a relatively new dealership for the company.
The members were then very privileged to be given test drives (rides!) in 4 brand new vehicles- Discovery 4, Isuzu Rodeo, Range Rover Sport and the new Range Rover Evoque. We were particularly impressed with the gadgets that the Evoque had to offer- a dual screen TV (so that the driver can view satnav whilst the passengers watch a film), as well as the automatic parallel parking that the vehicle could perform!
To round off the evening, everyone enjoyed a pasty and took part in a quiz- with Karyn Brookham coming 1st and winning a driving experience. Many thanks to Roger Young and his team for a brilliant visit and kind hospitality.
