In April 1994, Trident took a significant step in its development with the acquisition of the former Red Cross Centre in Ottershaw.
The purchase of this well-known local site provided an important opportunity to expand the business and strengthen its presence within the village. Its location, close to the existing premises, allowed Trident to grow in a way that remained closely connected to the community it had long served.

This acquisition formed part of a broader period of growth for Trident, laying the foundations for the modern dealership facilities that would follow in later years.
