BUSINESS BOOM MEANS RETAILER ON THE MOVE

A well-known west London retailer is on the move after outgrowing its current home.

After 40 successful years based on Kings Street, Chiswick Volkswagen, is relocating to a new site at Gillette Corner on Great West Road, with the refit costing approximately £400,000 to complete.

As part of the relocation the retailer is looking to employ up to ten new staff and change its name to West London Volkswagen, reflecting the area it will occupy.

Chiswick’s and soon to be West London’s brand manager, Shaun Kirby said: “It is a very exciting time for everyone associated with the business.

“The new larger premise represents a huge investment in local people and provides a stable working environment for employees.

“We will be relocating in stages, with the full move complete by March.”

The 1300m², new site is twice the size of the old Chiswick site and initially will house four highly trained technicians. This is expected to grow to ten when the centre is fully up and running, with new jobs likely to be created.

Shaun added: “One of the most exciting changes about the move is the Gillette Corner site will offer the area a fully integrated state-of-the-art Volkswagen approved service and parts centre. Later on in the year the centre will also be able to offer MOTs to customers.

“The new showroom has a contemporary feel, allowing customers to view the full range of Volkswagen passenger vehicles in a friendly and relaxed environment.

“Customers will also have the option to browse over 35 used cars outside, whilst being protected from the weather by overhead canopies.

“I’m looking forward to seeing customers old and new at the new premises and hope to offer many years of good quality service as we did at our old home.”

The move will be finalised with a VIP event, which is scheduled for March.

Visit the new West London site from Monday 8th February on Great West Road, Brentford or telephone 020 8996 5380 to book an appointment.

PEDAL POWER FOR CHISWICK SALES MANAGER


A Chiswick-based sales manager is relying on pedal power to take him to the beach in the annual London to Brighton bike ride.

Brett Wiggins has the backing of his employer, Chiswick Volkswagen, and is hoping to raise about £1,000 for the British Heart Foundation.

The 29-year-old has only recently taking up cycling, after injuries brought a premature end to his athletics career, but regularly clocks up over 100 miles in the saddle every week.

He said: “I’ve been training hard and have set myself high standards and a time to reach Brighton in.

“I’m really enjoying cycling and can’t wait to test myself in the ‘London Marathon’ for cyclists.”

Brett is part of a quartet of riders who’ll be among 27,000 people starting the 54-mile journey at Clapham Common on 21st June at 8am.

He’s hoping to reach Brighton in less than four hours in what is his first officially timed bike event.

Chiswick Volkswagen’s brand manager, Shaun Kirby, said: “Brett is very enthusiastic about cycling and he has the support of everyone at Chiswick Volkswagen.

“We’ve organised a collection at the retailer and hope customers can also help increase the total money raised.”

To help Brett reach his target of £1,000 simply call in to Chiswick Volkswagen on King Street, Hammersmith or go to www.justgiving.co.uk/brettwiggins
