Highs AND lows for SEAT
SEAT is chuffed to announce record LOWS for September, as well as breaking a number of decade-long highs.
A 40 percent market share boost has seen the UK become SEAT’s most important export market in the whole of Europe.
It’s currently holding 1.5 percent of the UK market – that’s the firm’s largest slice of the market in over a decade.
But it’s the used car situation that is adding to the highs, with its own, err, lows.
Stocks, Car Dealer Magazine was told, have never been lower, proving the demand for SEAT’s enhanced used car division, led by David Arden.
He, it seems, just can’t get enough cars to meet customers’ clamours.
Fleet’s doing well, too; it’s up by over a third, driven by the new Exeo, and new UK fleet boss Nick Andrews.
‘We’re a relatively new team, but I can see that, with performances like this already under our belt, we’re clearly moving in the right direction,’ said Andrews.
Sentiment with which boss Peter Wyhinny agrees. ‘The most satisfying aspect of these impressive September numbers is that the success has come across the board.
‘With a strong contribution from our aftersales and parts business, too, it’s clear that SEAT is firing on all cylinders!’
