NELSON-BASED NEL Construction is working at full throttle to complete a showroom extension in time for the launch of the new X Type Jaguar.

Building work is nearing completion at the Perry Motor Sales dealership in Hudderfield where the new 'baby Jag' will shortly go on sale.

Harry Swindlehurst, NEL's site manager, said the development would feature a showroom, offices and workshop with repair, service and valet areas.

"Once this project has been completed, the dealership will become one of the most prestigious Jaguar showrooms in the country," he said. "The fact that we continue to win contracts from clients such as Perry reflects very positively on NEL."
