SWITZERLAND: Infiniti names second UK retail partner
Author: just-auto.com editorial team | 9 October 2009
Nissan luxury brand Infiniti recently confirmed a second Middle East-based partner for a dozen additional UK retail outlets, following the opening of the first near Reading on 12 September.
Rymco UK, partner in the Reading dealership, is a unit of Infiniti's importer in the Lebanon; its second UK partner is Mana Premiere Automobiles UK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Mana International Holding, part of a business group which, Infiniti said, has "a wealth of experience in the motor retail business within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region representing Infiniti, Nissan and Renault".
Mana Premiere Automobiles will operate sites across the UK and have already selected locations in south London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds and Stockport. Five more will be announced later.
Including the three sites Rymco plans to operate, the initial UK dealer network will total 13.
Geneva-based Infiniti Europe said this will effectively cover "almost" the entire country as all centres will offer "VIP service" which provides vehicle collection and delivery for annual maintenance up to 150 miles from the dealership (beyond this available at customer cost).
Mana Premiere's first outlets in Birmingham and Glasgow are scheduled to open around the middle of 2010.
