A new car showroom has been opened in Walsall after a half-acre site that had remained unoccupied for ten months was snapped up.

Lord Mayor of Walsall John O’Hare officially unveiled the new sub prime car dealer ACF Car Finance showroom in Wolverhampton Road West on Saturday.

The sub prime car dealer has moved to the new site from its previous site in Bloxwich Lane, Walsall.

Sales and marketing director Norman Beaumont said: “Due to the current ­financial climate and the fact that some of our main competitors aren’t around any longer, we have seen a greater increase in people looking for our specialist services. Our new showroom will help us meet that increase in demand and offer even better facilities for prospective customers.”

“Not only have we employed local traders throughout the build and increased our staff intake, this showroom will also give people from across the region even greater choice for their motor buying needs.”
