Online car retailer Cazoo has opened its first 海角视频 customer centre in Manchester, creating jobs in the process.
The online-only business has announced the site on Chester Road in Stretford as one of its flagship sites, with plans to open 15 further locations across the country by the end of the year.
One of the 海角视频’s fastest growing ecommerce businesses, Cazoo said the sites form a "key part" of its storage and distribution infrastructure, as well as providing customers with a local collection option and servicing facilities.
Customers will be able to browse cars for sale online at the customer centre - with purchases made entirely online.
Tuesday's opening, which followed an investment of £1m, has created "over 20" new customer service and vehicle technician roles, with more roles to be offered across the North West as more centres open over the coming months.
Neil Smith, retail director at Cazoo, said: “We have been delighted by the overwhelmingly positive response of consumers to our online car buying proposition.
"With our ever-increasing number of sales, our new customer centres will provide our customers with more choice around how they want to receive their Cazoo car and allow us to serve them better through our own service centres.
