SsangYong UK to rebuild dealer network
SsangYong UK is rebuilding its network of dealers in the UK following the gradual reduction of dealers from 50 to 29. Ian Nicholson, SsangYong UK group finance and operations director, told AM that the dealers wanted to leave because "they’ve been through relaunch after relaunch and they can’t go through it again".
Koelliker UK, the newly appointed importer of SsangYong's into the UK, is now embarking on a dealer redevelopment process. Nicholson said: "We’re all grown ups and we're not going to fall out about it, if they want out, we'll shake hands and move on. But they won't get parts, they won’t get warranty work and they won't get any cars." SsangYong UK is looking to recruit new dealers with the right attitude and not necessarily franchised dealers.
