Lookers opens new state-of-the art Ford Van Centre in Colchester

Lookers grows its local presence with new integrated Ford Van Transit Centre at Magdalen Street which is now open

Leading motor group Lookers is further investing in Colchester as part of its nationwide plan for growth.

The company, which already has four standout dealerships in the area including Lookers Volvo, Ford and Land Rover, has relocated its Ford Van Transit Centre into a new, enlarged and enhanced showroom space at Magdalen Street in the heart of the town. 

Spacious and inviting, with ample onsite parking, the new showroom perfectly showcases a full range of Ford commercial vehicles in an enhanced customer-focused environment, and, in April, will house the all-new Ford E-Transit – the top carmaker’s first all-electric van.

The former Lookers Van Transit Centre will continue to operate a Ford aftersales service at Newcomen Way in Colchester with the added benefit of expanded facilities. 

Lookers Ford Transit Centre sales manager, Will Radley, said: 

“Lookers Colchester is on an exciting journey of growth and we’re delighted to have put the finishing touches to our plans to create an open, brighter and more enjoyable customer space so that we can now share an even bigger range of new and used commercial vehicles as part of a significant local investment.

Fully staffed with a knowledgeable and experienced local team, our new Lookers Ford Colchester Transit Centre at Magdalen Street delivers a dramatically-enhanced way to shop and experience Ford commercial vehicles, including the first all-electric E-Transit early next year.

“Our mission is to create the best environment for every customer and deliver the highest standards of service they have come to expect from Lookers Colchester,” Will said. “I’m delighted by the investment made, by our plans for local growth and we look forward to welcoming everyone to our new site.”

The all-new Lookers Ford Van Transit Centre is located at Magdalen Street, Colchester CO1 2JU just a few minutes’ walk from Colchester train station.
