CAR dealership Sherwoods has taken on the franchise for Daewoo for the Darlington area.
Managing director Alasdair MacConachie said he hoped the franchise would help the business expand, with at least three members of staff being taken on.
A showroom has been built to house the franchise at the Sherwoods site in Chesnut Street.
Mr MacConachie said: "It is a nice little showroom. It is only a small franchise, but Daewoo hopes to sell 25,000 cars this year and we hope it will expand our business, not only on the sales side, but also in the after-sales business eventually.
"We will probably have to take on more members of staff in the parts and bodyshop divisions to cope with extra demand."
