Motorpoint is set to create more than a dozen new jobs with the opening of a purpose-built vehicle preparation centre in Motherwell later this summer.
One of the UK’s largest independent car retailers, which has been based in Mount Vernon in Glasgow for almost 20 years, is now relocating its existing centre to the new eight-acre facility on Wilsons Road in early August.
The majority of the existing preparation team in Glasgow are relocating to Motherwell, with a small number set to remain at the branch to help oversee the various pre-collection checks that are carried out on all vehicles.
Once fully operational, the 35-strong team will have the capacity to process up to 20,000 cars and light commercial vehicles per year. All staff will be based within a 49,000 square foot central hub, the largest of its kind within Motorpoint.
Motorpoint is seeking new automotive yard assistants, preparation centre supervisors and vehicle technicians.
Terry Burns, operations manager at Motorpoint, explained: “Motorpoint is rapidly expanding and, to help facilitate this growth in Scotland, we need to fill a number of roles to help support the existing team.
“We are keen to hear from anyone who is looking to make that next step within the automotive sector.”
