A new car showroom is one of the first businesses to expand in Barrow in 2024. 

Family business Guy Perry LTD officially opened a new Citroen showroom alongside its Peugeot showroom last week.

Located on Phoenix Road, planning permission was granted to build an extension in December 2022.

The demolition of previous outbuildings allowed for the construction of a new valeting building.

Its large glazing has allowed a bright, open space to be created for Citroen to display their latest models.

The dealership says its current Peugeot showroom has done exceptionally well in the area with 2024 being a perfect time for the Citroen addition.

A spokesperson for Guy Perry Limited said: "We’re proud to officially open our new Citroen showroom in Barrow, the showroom is on the same site as our Peugeot showroom on Phoenix Road.

"With the huge success and popularity of the new Peugeot range along with the ever-growing investments in the local area, it’s the perfect time for Guy Perry Ltd to expand.

"We believe Citroen's stylish design, competitive pricing and availability of vehicles make it the perfect brand to complement our Peugeot models.

"Guy Perry Ltd has always focused on local business and has served the Furness area and beyond for over 30 years. We’re excited to invite all to discover the Citroen brand in our new showroom."

The original Design and Access Statement stated that it is common nowadays to have multiple showrooms on the one site.

The multiple use allows dealerships to provide more options and enables them to be competitive.

The sales department is open Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm and on Saturdays between 9am and 5pm.
