| Infiniti, the luxury automotive brand from Japan,
has confirmed its second partner for the UK which will expand coverage
following the opening of Infiniti's first Centre near Reading on 12 September
2009. For both its UK Partners, Infiniti has turned to companies already experienced in the brand and its values, as well as in the luxury automotive market. The first Partner already announced by Infiniti, namely Rymco UK, is the brand's importer in the Lebanon. Its second UK Partner is to be Mana Premiere Automobiles UK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Mana International Holding, which descends from a business group with a wealth of experience in the motor retail business within the GCC region representing Infiniti, Nissan and Renault. Mana Premiere Automobiles UK will operate sites across the UK and have already identified addresses in South London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Stockport. A further five Infiniti locations will be announced in due course. |  |
When added to the three Centres planned to be opened under Rymco UK, including Infiniti Centre Reading, this takes Infiniti's final network to at least 13 Centres. Coverage will extend to almost the entire country as all Centres will offer the customer the Infiniti VIP Service which provides collection and delivery of their vehicle for annual maintenance up to 150 miles from the Infiniti Centre, beyond this is also available at customer contribution. Birmingham and Glasgow should be the next Centres to be completed after Reading, with their doors scheduled to open around the middle of 2010. | |
