Car dealership and green-tech firm announce plans to create 70 jobs

Toyota and Lexus will be driving the creation of 40 jobs in Cork, while Kildare-based green-tech company Nu Flow has announced a further 30 jobs over the next 36 months.

The Lehane family — the team behind the successful Macroom Motors outlet — has taken over the Cork franchise for Toyota and Lexus.

The new city dealership, which will open its doors in early August, will initially operate from the Wilton Motors premises in Bishopstown, but Lehane Motors is also planning to build a purpose-built Toyota and Lexus facility in 2014.
