10 new jobs as JCT600 boosts Hull investment with launch of used-vehicle dealership at Priory Tec Park

Leading independent automotive retailer JCT600 has expanded its footprint in East Yorkshire with the opening of a new JCT600 Approved Centre in Hull, creating jobs and widening access to quality used vehicles across the Humber region.

The new facility, at Priory Tec Park in Hessle, is the second JCT600 dealership to open at the location this month, after the launch of electric vehicle brand Changan. As part of the expansion, JCT600’s Volkswagen van operation has relocated to the group’s neighbouring Volkswagen car dealership, also at Priory Tec Park.

The Hull JCT600 Approved Centre will showcase around 60 nearly new and used vehicles, providing a wide range of makes and models, alongside finance, servicing and aftersales support. The new dealership is expected to create 10 new jobs, with a mix of sales and aftersales roles, and forms part of JCT600’s ongoing programme of site investment and redevelopment.

JCT600 executive chairman John Tordoff said: “JCT600 Approved Centres play an important role in our business, enabling us to provide customers with a wide range of high-quality used vehicles, that have undergone a detailed inspection and are price checked by our specialist teams to ensure they offer the best possible value.

“The opening of our Hull site, alongside our new Changan electric vehicle dealership, demonstrates our long-term commitment to the region and ensures we can support customers at every stage of their vehicle ownership journey.”

JCT600’s network of six Approved Centres across Yorkshire and the East Midlands, complement the group’s franchised dealerships by offering used vehicles for sale across a wide range of brands. All vehicles undergo comprehensive checks and preparation, and customers are offered part-exchange deals, competitive finance packages and full aftersales support.

Founded in Bradford in 1946, JCT600 represents 19 manufacturers and operates more than 50 dealerships and automotive businesses across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and the North East. The business remains family-owned and continues to invest in its retail network as the automotive sector evolves.
