LUTON, UK -- April 27, 2015: Six new SsangYong sales & service dealerships appointed in Chichester, Guernsey, Jersey, Newcastle upon Tyne, Preston and Rainham A further six new dealers have joined the SsangYong franchise ahead of the arrival of the brand’s all new Tivoli B-segment SUV this summer.

The new appointments are:

• Formula One, Newcastle - Newcastle upon Tyne
• Hidsons - Rainham, Kent
• Lewis SsangYong - Chichester, West Sussex
• Motor Mall - Guernsey - Forest, Guernsey

“The addition of a fifth, and already highly acclaimed model to our comprehensive range, has really accelerated interest in the franchise,” said Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.

“Confidence in the SsangYong brand was already growing throughout last year as our sales performance shows, but the pending arrival of the Tivoli crossover into the highly competitive B-segment has really fired-up enquiries from potential dealers.  We’re also now hearing from businesses representing premium brands looking for another string to their bow.

“We warmly welcome these new additions to the SsangYong franchise, and look forward to watching them grow with us over the coming months and years,” added Mr Williams.

SsangYong is actively looking for the right quality of dealers to represent the brand in a number of locations, and current open points include: Aberdeen, Ayr, Basingstoke, Birmingham, Bradford, Cambridge, Chester, Derby, Doncaster, Dover, Folkestone, Greater Manchester, Hull, Inverness, Isle of Man, Kings Lynn, Leicester, Liverpool, London & South East, Mid & North Wales, Newbury, Nottingham, Orkneys, Perth, Portsmouth, Reading, Salisbury, Shetlands, Southampton, Teesside, Watford and York.
