Lloyd Motor Group, one of the North of England's leading automotive retailers, today announced the opening of a new BYD (Build Your Dreams) franchise in Blackpool.

 Lloyd BYD Blackpool will be located at the current Lloyd Select Blackpool site on Whitehills Road, Whitehills Business Park, Blackpool.

The new franchise will bring the innovative electric vehicle manufacturer's range to the Fylde Coast, creating three new jobs and further strengthening Lloyd Motor Group's presence in the region.

 BYD, a global leader in electric vehicle technology, has been rapidly expanding its footprint across the UK market, bringing cutting-edge sustainable transportation solutions to UK drivers.

The new Blackpool location will showcase BYD's complete lineup of all-electric passenger vehicles.

 Sam Lloyd, managing director of Lloyd Motor Group, said: "We are thrilled to welcome BYD to our portfolio of premium automotive brands in Blackpool.

"This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to bring world-class electric vehicles to our customers in Lancashire.

"As the automotive industry continues its transition to electrification, Lloyd Motor Group is committed to leading this change by partnering with innovative manufacturers like BYD."

 Mark Powell, head of business at Lloyd BYD Blackpool, added: "The addition of BYD to our Blackpool operations marks an exciting new chapter for Lloyd Motor Group in Lancashire.

"We're proud to grow our presence in the area and to introduce this forward-thinking brand to local customers. The team is eager to showcase BYD's impressive electric vehicle range and to deliver the exceptional customer service that Lloyd Motor Group is known for."

 Lloyd BYD Blackpool joins the company's established businesses in the area, which include Lloyd Blackpool BMW, Lloyd Blackpool MINI, Lloyd Bodyshop Blackpool, and Lloyd Select Blackpool.

The expansion underscores Lloyd Motor Group's commitment to the Blackpool community and to providing diverse automotive options to customers across Lancashire.

 The new BYD franchise is expected to officially open in early May.

 The official showroom opening event is planned for mid-May, with exact dates to be confirmed at www.lloydmotorgroup.com . The event will allow customers and the local community to experience the BYD range and explore the new facilities
