Three new jobs have been created in Newmarket with the launch by a family-owned garage business of an Isuzu commercial vehicle dealership.

Manchetts, which has garages in Newmarket and Burwell, has taken on the dealership due to strong demand for Isuzu pick-up trucks from the horse racing industry, farming and the building trade.

Business development manager Nigel Foster said: “We are delighted to have opened in the area and the dealership has already created three new jobs, in sales, valeting and for a highly qualified technician.

“We realised there was a real need for this dealership in Newmarket, as many of the people in this area require a hard–working vehicle that is up to the task of pulling a horsebox or driving across fields.

“This demand is down to the Isuzu’s unrivalled fuel efficiency, off-road power, class-lading towing ability and great looks”.

Manchetts Newmarket will stock the full range of new Isuzu vehicles and also source pre-owned vehicles direct from the manufacturer.

The dealership, on the Studlands Park Industrial Estate, is hosting a launch weekend event from Friday, February 3 to Sunday, February 5.
