Queensmead Weybridge Ltd, a joint venture partnership between Cleanslate and Trident Honda, are pleased to announce that demolition of the former Honda Garage on Queens Road in Weybridge has commenced, to make way for a brand new landmark building; comprising high quality retail outlets and a range of luxury apartments. Demolition works will be completed within four weeks and the new building is expected to be completed within two years.
Mark Fitzpatrick, Managing Director of Cleanslate comments:
It is almost three months into our Site Merger and our ex-Weybridge staff have settled into Ottershaw really well.
Our commercial director and dealer principal, Steve Henderson, writes:
We have been overwhelmed by the support of our Weybridge customers, with the result that we currently have a slightly longer lead time than we would want. We are working very hard to reduce our current lead time and have recruited two additional technicians and are looking to recruit still more.
It has now been confirmed that our last normal day of trading at Weybridge will be Thursday 2 April, although our Sales Department will be open for reduced hours on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 April.
From 5 April the site will still be in use by a skeleton staff for a week or two, whilst our Ottershaw workshop redevelopment is completed, but all customer enquiries should be directed to our Ottershaw branch from that time.
We currently operate from two sites - one in Weybridge and the other in Ottershaw. Our Weybridge site, being right in the centre of the town, is becoming increasingly constrained by its size, lack of parking space, and inability to accommodate transporter deliveries.
Our Ottershaw site, on the other hand, is larger, in a less built-up location, and enjoys much greater capacity and ease of access. It also operates a petrol forecourt and is well located on the A320, very close to the M25, and less than 4 miles from Weybridge Town Centre.
We have therefore decided to merge all our operations onto the Ottershaw site.
Trident Weybridge is delighted to have been given responsibility for Cobham and its environs, by Honda, including:
- Cobham
- Downside
- Martyr's Green
- Stoke D'Abernon
Whilst Trident Honda is delighted to welcome customers from any area, this is a recognition by Honda of Trident Weybridge's outstanding customer care.
Chris Burkitt has joined Weybridge as Aftersales Manager. Chris replaces David Herridge who leaves later this month. During his time with us at Thames Ditton, Chris proved himself a most capable Aftersales Manager, and we are delighted he has chosen to rejoin the Trident Honda Team.
Trident Weybridge was officially opened by Philip Hammond, MP for Runnymede and Weybridge, on (date unknown). Trident acquired the site in 1996 and have now completed a complete demolition and redevelopment.
