A Macclesfield car dealership has shut down.

Vertu Motors has announced the closure of its Citroen showroom at Lyme Green Business Park.

It is one of two closures made by the automotive retailer group following a review of their 'financial viability'.

Thankfully, the move will not result in any job losses, with staff being transferred to neighbouring dealerships.

A spokesperson for Vertu Motors said: "We have carefully reviewed the financial viability of our Honda Bradford and Citroen Macclesfield dealerships, and made the difficult decision to close them.

"All colleagues have retained employment, having been transferred to the respective dealerships of ours next door: Vertu Kia Bradford and Vertu BYD Macclesfield.

"We look forward to welcoming customers at any of our Vertu dealerships, where they may expect the same excellent standard of customer service they are used to."

The Vertu Motors website states that following the closure of the Macclesfield branch, the nearest Citroen dealership is located in Derby.
