Motorpoint Group create 50 new jobs with opening of Sheffield site

Motorpoint Group PLC, the UK’s largest independent vehicle retailer, has officially opened its new Sheffield site.

This is the Group’s 12th site and fourth to open within the last 18 months, following the launches last year in Castleford and Oldbury, and the opening of Birtley in November 2015.

The Sheffield site, a short drive from the Sheffield Arena and Meadowhall Shopping Centre, is a 10-acre former car supermarket located close to junctions 33 and 34 of the M1.

The site will feature up to 500 nearly new vehicles from over 30 different manufacturers.

Mark Carpenter, chief executive officer of Motorpoint Group, commented: “I am pleased that we have opened our 12th site in what has been a busy period for the Group.

“Sheffield is a key demographic area and we are delighted to have generated 50 new jobs in the region.

“The recent openings are performing well, and the management team is confident that this new site will be a further successful addition to the Group’s portfolio as we deliver on our focused approach to new site openings to capture additional market share.”
