Windsor Motor Group has announced the appointment of Peter Nicholson as its new managing director and the creation of 20 new jobs with the opening of a new dealership in Dublin, its 15th nationwide. The group, which has an annual turnover of €200 million, now employs more than 300 people at its dealerships across the country in Dublin, Wicklow, Meath and Galway.

The motor group represents Nissan, Opel, Peugeot and Mazda and sells more than 9,000 new and used vehicles, as well as servicing and repairing about 25,000 vehicles a year. Mr Nicholson joined Windsor in 1992 and has previously held roles as group finance and insurance director and dealer principal at Windsor Airside Nissan.
