INFINITI, the luxury sporting brand of Nissan, is changing the way it does business in the UK.
The UK Infiniti Centres based in Reading, Birmingham, Stockport, Leeds and Glasgow, which until now have been operated by Rymco UK Limited and Mana Premier Automobiles Limited, are now under the control of Infiniti.
The centres will be run by Rose Kiln Retail Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infiniti’s parent company, Nissan.
Managing director of new Infiniti subsidiary will be Brendan Norman, currently general manager sales operations, Infiniti EMEA.
Under the terms of the agreement between the companies staff will transfer to the new business
Under the terms of the agreement between the companies staff will transfer to the new business. Infiniti says this will ensure stability and continuity for new and existing customers. In effect, Infiniti owners will notice no differences.
Francois Goupil de Bouillé, vice president for Infiniti Europe, Middle East and Africa said:
“This is a change that reflects Infiniti’s commitment to establishing the brand and its products in the UK and in Europe overall. It is another building block of our business model.”
The changes to Infiniti’s UK retail initiative comes ahead of plans to begin UK production of an all-new Infiniti model. To be made at Infiniti’s manufacturing plant in Sunderland due to open in 2015, the new car was previewed by the Infiniti Q30 Concept shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2013
