New premises for Nissan dealer

Athol Garage is to move from its current base in Peel Road, Douglas after almost 70 years.

The company is due to relocate to brand new purpose-built premises in Balthane Road, Ballasalla early next year.

The one-acre site will see the Nissan franchise consolidate its business in one location with dealership facilities, a parts department, car hire and sales and a workshop.

Sales director David Quayle says moving to Ballasalla will allow the company to develop its airport-related services, especially the vehicle rental operation.

Work has begun on the site and the firm says it anticipates moving early in 2009.
