Work is continuing on building the city’s first Porsche showroom.

Watery Lane has seen demolition work ongoing throughout the summer and this phase of the work has been completed.

Warden Construction Limited has been appointed by Bowker Group to build its 43,000 square feet Porsche Centre.

The showroom, which is due to house 35 cars and a 13-bay workshop, will open in Spring next year.

Bowker Motor Group chief executive Paul Bowker said: Congratulations to Warden Construction. We are looking forward to working with them as the Porsche Centre Preston takes shape.

“Wherever possible, we prefer to work with Lancashire companies. Bowker Motor Group’s strategy to work with the world’s most prestigious automotive brands unlocks exciting opportunities for other local businesses too. That’s why we spoke to a selection highly-regarded Lancashire construction companies before we appointed Warden.

“Warden faced some stiff competition to win the business. But there was a good fit with our respective project teams: not least with their experience; and, their passion to deliver a remarkable new building on a landmark site for Preston.”

The construction firm recently build the new AFC Fylde Stadium Complex at Wesham.

Warden managing director Richard Kenworthy said: “Everyone at Warden is delighted to be working with Bowker Motor Group on such a prestigious retail development. It’s an area of Preston that many of us have driven past all our lives. That’s why we are proud to be part of a construction project which will transform the area.”
