Motor dealers to invest €15m in new Cork location

Motor dealers Johnson & Perrott are poised to invest €15m in a new, third dealership location for their Cork City-based business.

It’s the most significant dealership investment in close to a decade in the greater Cork area, since motor malls were rolled out at East Gate and at Blarney Business Park in the early to mid 2000s, and is further evidence of the marked recovery in the economy and car sales since 2014.

Currently based at MahonPoint, with five marques, and on the Douglas Road with two further franchises and at capacity at both, the long-established company is now adding a third location, on the city’s western fringes, on the former Uponor site on the Bandon Road.
