GLYN Hopkin, the UK’s largest independent Nissan dealer group, has opened an interim showroom in North London.
The short-term facility, which also boasts Nissan’s latest retail concept, precedes the unveiling of a new, state-of-the-art showroom which is due to open in the area later this year.
The opening of the showroom in Stamford Hill takes Glyn Hopkin’s Nissan dealership count to 14 sites across the south-east, meaning it is now the largest independent Nissan dealer group in the UK. The interim facility will service local demand while the full site is completed.
In 2015, Glyn Hopkin sold more than 11,300 cars and 220 LCVs across its 13 Nissan sites – equivalent to over 44 vehicles per day. Since 1993, when Glyn Hopkin Nissan first opened its doors, it has sold more than 111,400 Nissan vehicles.
The group has played a key role in Nissan’s growth in the UK over recent years.
Fraser Cohen, managing director at Glyn Hopkin, said: ‘The decision to open our Nissan North London showroom ahead of the full site later this year demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing our customers in the area with dependable sales and aftersales support.
‘The North London site will complement our nearby dealerships in East London, Romford, Buckhurst Hill and Waltham Abbey, so that customers always associate the Nissan brand with Glyn Hopkin’s excellent customer service.’
The new short-term facility employs four sales representatives and one managerial staff member. Glyn Hopkin’s headcount recently passed the 700 mark.
