According to Hugh Morgan, Managing Director of the Morgan Group, he is very proud of the new addition to the group.
“We have an extremely excited and motivated team responsible for the day-to-day running of the business,” he told Dealerfloor. “They have already adopted the moniker of Team Morgan at your service, which is a positive sign in terms of motivated employees,” Morgan said.
The team in Lydenburg will be led by the able and experienced Adelene le Roux, Dealer Principal, and Jonathan Gibbley, After-sales Manager.
The new acquisition continues Morgan’s philosophy of establishing his businesses mainly in rural areas where customer service and relationships are pivotal to success.
The Morgan Nissan Lydenburg dealership will offer new and used car sales, customer service and satisfaction, a workshop and parts. To visit them and enjoy a nice cup of coffee, pull in at the corner of Voortrekker and Viljoen streets, Lydenburg.
