A Black Country car dealership has expanded its showroom to meet growing demand after securing a new funding deal.
Summit Garage in Dudley has used the £150,000 loan from Lloyds Bank to double the capacity of its outlet in Himley Road which will enable the MG franchise to increase the number of cars on display.
The refurbishment of the 3,230 sq ft building also includes new roofing, energy-efficient lighting and a refreshed interior design aimed at improving the experience for customers.
As a result of increased demand, the dealership has also been able to create three new jobs and is actively exploring the acquisition of a new property as it looks to accelerate further growth.

Director John Newey said: "The opening of our new refurbished site is a fantastic way for us to celebrate our anniversary and we're delighted we're able to welcome customers back without any restrictions.
"We've been planning to increase the capacity of our showroom for some time now as demand has continued to increase and we hope that this will help us to build further on our success."
