Blackstone Motors has expanded its operational footprint as Regional Renault Dealer for the North East of Ireland with the opening of its third Dacia and Renault dealership. The new premises, located in Dundalk, is part of a €10 million investment by the company. It is located on the Inner Relief Road in Dundalk and features a 750 square metre showroom finished to the latest Dacia and Renault brand standards. Also on site is a dedicated Renault Pro+ area for commercial vehicles and an electric vehicle zone.
Job creation set to continue
Initially, the expansion of the business led to the creation of an additional 15 jobs, but the company is planning to hire at least 35 new people over the next 18 months. At present, the number of people employed by the company stands at 55.
Speaking about the opening of the new premises, Noel Stewart, Managing Director of Blackstone Motors said: "We are incredibly excited to open our third dealership; it seems like the natural next step after the success of Blackstone Motors Drogheda and Cavan. At Blackstone Motors, our main aim is to make buying a new or used car or van an enjoyable and easy process. Thanks to our Sales and Aftersales departments, we are a one-stop-shop for all your motoring needs."
Patrick Magee, Country Operations Director, Renault Ireland, said: "We are thrilled to open the third Blackstone Motors dealership, a flagship Renault dealership in the Irish Network. It's a testament to the hard work of Noel, Donal, and the wider Blackstone team. The state-of-the-art premises will provide a streamlined customer experience, with the full range of Renault and Dacia cars and vans available, including a dedicated EV zone. We wish the team all the best at the new dealership and continued success and delighted that Renault Group is number one in the County Louth car market year to date."
