THE UK’s largest Volkswagen showroom has opened its doors in style.
More than 400 guests joined staff from Sinclair Volkswagen on a ‘Big Night Out’ themed party to celebrate the official launch of Volkswagen UK’s largest state-of-the-art facility in the newly regenerated docklands, close to Swansea City centre.
The night’s entertainment included well known opera singer and star of the ‘Go Compare’ TV adverts, Wynne Evans, footballers from Swansea City Football Club, Welsh Rugby International Ryan Jones, live music and dance performances, and remote-controlled car artist Ian Cook was hand.
Jeremy Phillips, brand manager at Sinclair Volkswagen in Swansea, said: ‘The evening was a fantastic way of thanking everyone for their hard work and patience while the new showroom was built.
‘It’s taken almost three years of planning and construction but it has definitely been worth the wait. I’m delighted that so many people joined us to celebrate our ‘Big Night Out’ and hope that they thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the chance to get a sneak preview of the new facilities here on Langdon Road.’
The new site is centred around a unique glass atrium with the capacity to display 17 different models from the Volkswagen range. In addition, the site offers an enlarged Approved Used Volkswagen display and improved customer parking, as well as a 16-bay workshop equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment.
Phillips added: ‘Throughout the construction programme, our aim has been to improve and enhance our customers’ retail experience. ‘Operating from a truly world class retail outlet, it is now the intention of every member of the Sinclair Volkswagen Swansea team to deliver the levels of service that match our working environment.’
Sinclair Volkswagen Swansea is part of the Sinclair Group which has Volkswagen sites in Newport, Cardiff, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Swansea and Neyland.
