Leyland ATS Euromaster site put up for sale after garage chain makes huge cuts across UK

The Leyland branch of a major car garage has gone on the market, just weeks after it closed.

ATS Euromaster announced in February that it was beginning a ‘structured wind-down’ of its operations in the UK, placing more than 700 jobs and 103 sites at risk - including three in Lancashire.

It is believed that their in Leyland Lane closed on May 1, and now the 7,157sqft premises have been put on the market for offers over £450,000 by Manchester-based Newmark.

When breaking the news in February, Nick Harley, Group Managing Director of Euromaster UK, said it was “an extremely sad and difficult moment for everyone in the company”, adding: “Despite the team’s massive efforts to reshape the business, improve financial performance, and secure a sustainable future, a combination of intense market competition, sluggish activity within the sector and rising costs have left us with no viable path forward to a break-even position.”
