sThe arrival of the new Tivoli B-segment crossover, has certainly increased interest in the franchise from across the motor trade,” said Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.

“Confidence in the SsangYong brand has been growing steadily as our sales performance indicates, but Tivoli 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.

“Additionally, we’re finding that existing SsangYong dealers are wanting to add the brand to other locations they either already have or want to open for us, Shukers in Shrewsbury and now Telford being a case in point.  This is hugely encouraging,” added Mr Williams.

SsangYong is actively looking for the right quality of dealers, with an entrepreneurial ‘can do’ attitude, to represent the brand in a number of locations, and current open points include: Aberdeen, Ayr, Barnstaple, Basingstoke, Bedford, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Cambridge, Chester, Derby, Dover, Dundee, Edinburgh, Folkestone, Greater Manchester, Grimsby, Hull, Inverness, Isle of Man, Kings Lynn, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Mid & North Wales, Newbury, Nottingham, Orkneys, Perth, Portsmouth, Reading, Salisbury, Shetlands, Southampton, Worcester and York.
