Scottish racing organisation Eastern Western Motor Group has opened a new location at Toyota as part of a £20 million expansion plan.
The Car Dealer Top 100 company started operations from its new Toyota branch in Barnett, bringing the Japanese logo to Perth.
It comes after the car dealership opened another Toyota in Dundee last week following a hold-up over a fireproof roof. The assignment also saw the opening of a new Lexus dealership in Dundee.
The three dealerships are the first to open under the new partnership between Eastern Western and Toyota, announced through Car Dealer last year.
Between them, they have created around 90 new jobs and bosses are hopeful that they will mark the start of a long and fruitful relationship.
Group chief executive Keith Duncan said: “We are very pleased to have been appointed Toyota dealers for Dundee and Perth.
“To be honest, this is the tip of the iceberg. The two plants will create approximately 90 jobs. This is a very exciting time for the company.
Duncan has strong ties to the area, having been brought up in Dundee, which is about 20 miles from Perth.
He added: ‘Lexus has never been represented in Dundee and speaking as a Dundonian, I am delighted the luxury brand is being launched in my home town.
“Our progression in Dundee is a new logo on Dunsinane Avenue (next to the Camperdown roundabout, or ‘circle’ as we say in Dundee!) and showcasing the latest version of Toyota and Lexus showroom designs.
‘Eastern Western has a long and successful history with the Toyota & Lexus brands and the Toyota and Lexus teams cannot wait to get involved in new territories with such brilliant, cutting-edge brands.’
