A BRAND new MG Motor UK dealership has opened in Scotland following a £5million investment in a multi-franchise Macklin Motors site.
Macklin MG Edinburgh Newbridge is situated next to the M9 motorway, and will carry the full range of new and used MG cars as well as offering on-site EV charging, specialist advice to Motability customers, vehicle servicing and full aftersales support.
The site has a 16-bay service area and has created 14 new jobs, along with two apprenticeships. The dealership benefits from all the latest technology, including automatic number plate recognition, which notifies the service centre to a customer’s arrival.
MG Motor commercial director Guy Pigounakis said: “We are thrilled to once again partner with Macklin Motors’ parent company Vertu Motors as we develop our relationship and further our growth in Scotland, not least because EV registrations in Scotland grew by over 75 per cent last year.
“We’re well-positioned to help Scottish motorists further their uptake of electric cars with a high-quality range of plug-in vehicles, alongside excellent petrol models.”
Joe McCauley, general manager at the new dealership, said: “Prior to the seven-month build programme, the location was an undeveloped plot. Now it is a state-of-the-art workplace we can all be proud of and a welcoming modern space for customers.
“The team is looking forward to welcoming customers and showing them everything we have on offer.”
