CHORLEY Group, which operates Nissan franchises across the north-west of England, has appointed a Group Property Manager as part of its expansion plans.
Phil Lambert, previously Associate Director at architectural design firm Corstorphine and Wright, will be seeking future opportunities to expand the group’s property portfolio.
He will also project-manage alterations, maintenance and refurbishment of the group’s existing buildings and properties.
Phil said: “This is an industry that’s forever changing, and it is critical for us to have the ability to move and change with it.
“I’m delighted to be given this opportunity at one of the region’s most dynamic businesses. It’s a very exciting time to be joining them.”
Chorley Group Sales Director Adam Turner said: “We have plans in the pipeline to open dealerships in new territories in the region and having someone of Phil’s calibre as part of the team will help us enormously.
“This is a new role for the Chorley Group but having our in-house design and project management services now means we’re far less reliant on external skills and services and will be much more fleet of foot.”
The family-run Chorley Group employs 240 people across its eight dealerships in Burnley, Preston, Chorley, Wigan and Blackpool.
