The new Volvo site on Penistone Road, Sheffield will be opened by Kristian Elvefors, Managing Director of Volvo Car UK, and will house multi-award winning local retailer, Stoneacre Motor Group, with an investment of £6m to improve facilities for customers.

The new site will feature Volvo’s signature lounge area, complete with Scandi-style furniture, cakes and coffee. Large panoramic glass walls will allow customers to see all activity in the new workshops from the comfort of the lounge, where they can enjoy a Swedish “fika” coffee break, or continue working with free Wi-Fi.

As well as relocating, the Sheffield-based retailer has also expanded, with a larger showroom, including a greater display of Approved Used Volvo Selekt models on the forecourt and increased customer parking.

Russ Sorsby, General Manager of Stoneacre Volvo Sheffield, said: “We are delighted to celebrate the launch of our new showroom, not least because this development reflects our commitment to improving customer experiences.

“Volvo has been an Official Vehicle Partner of British Triathlon since March 2019, and with Lucy and Mark on hand to set benchmark times on the GO TRI Challenge, we cannot wait to see how our guests compete!

“The party is set to be a fantastic evening, with the first 100 guests through the door receiving an exclusive welcome gift, so we’re looking forward to inviting the community to meet Lucy and Mark, enjoy the evening’s entertainment, and take a look around our fantastic new premises!”
