ALREADY an established face in Brockenhurst, Balmer Lawn Honda is officially launching its recently refurbished dealership in Dibden Purlieu.

Like the successful Brockenhurst premises, the Dibden branch is an official Honda sales and service site, fully equipped for selling and repairing Honda vehicles as well as serving all makes of car.

With a nine-strong team of experienced staff on hand to help customers find their dream Honda, the Dibden site promises to be every bit as popular with motorists as its Brockenhurst counterpart.

General manager John Brown is delighted with the expansion of the business.

He said: "We're very proud to be the Honda franchise in the Totton and Waterside area.

"I'm hopeful that we will see the business continuing to expand across the Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire area over the coming years."

Having joined the Balmer Lawn team three-and-a-half years ago, John has more than ten years' experience in the motoring industry and has risen through the ranks from sales rep to general manager.

Since December, he has been responsible for overseeing both the Brockenhurst and Dibden sites and is looking forward to welcoming even more customers to the newly fitted-out site.

In order to prepare the Dibden site for customers, a massive refurbishment programme has been undertaken, including the installation of a brand new state-of-the-art showroom, allowing customers to browse the impressive stock of new and used Honda vehicles on offer. To officially launch the Dibden site, Balmer Lawn is hosting a special opening celebration from Friday February 11 to Sunday February 13 between 10am and 4pm each day.

John explained: "We wanted to treat our new and existing customers and give them the chance to see the results of the refit.

"The Valentine's opening celebration will allow people to come and have a look around the new showroom, view the new and used Hondas and even take them for a test drive."

Guests at the opening will get a free 15-minute car check and a complimentary gift.
