Daihatsu Appoints 60th New UK Dealership
Published: 21st September 2003
Daihatsu, which specialises in high-technology compact cars with strong environmental characteristics, is also busy processing applications from prospective dealers across the UK and looks set to have a 100-strong network by the year-end.
Operations Director, Paul Hegarty, said: "As car buyers continue to shift away from large cars towards smaller, more fuel efficient ones, we are seeing a continuing rise in the number of dealerships interested in our specialist range of compact cars."
He added: "What is more, with the exciting new Copen roadster due to go on sale in November and the highly acclaimed new Charade proving a big success, customer and dealer interest in Daihatsu is now greater than ever."
The 60th new dealership to be appointed since February 2000, when West Midlands-based Daihatsu Vehicle Distributors Limited took over the UK operation, is Clemo Daihatsu at Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire.
Other recent appointments include; CVC Cardiff; Foxfield at Wigan;
Thurlow Nunn Standen at Downham Market; K.T. Green at Pool in Wharfdale;
Dennis Common at Longframlington; Express Garage at Herne Bay; Parkside
in Bolton; Cross Keys at Morley; Prestons Garages at Writtle in
Essex; Meredith & Kirkham at Colwyn Bay; Seward at New Milton;
Ken Jervis in Stoke on Trent; WJH Motors at Bedford and Penfold
Motors in London (SE12).
