Al Ghassan Motors have Succeeded in Becoming the Most Successful Dealer in the Middle East Region for 2009 and are the Second Most Successful Dealer Worldwide for Bentley Motors
Bentley Motors has announced that Al Ghassan Motors, sold a record number of cars in 2009 and increased on their sales performance for 2008 by 41%.
This dedicated sales effort, accelerated them to the number one position in the Middle East Region and the number two dealer worldwide for Bentley Motors.
Chris Buxton, Regional Director for the Middle East, Africa and India region said ”We are extremely proud to be showing such strong growth in the region at a time when the credit crisis is affecting so many other markets, and we congratulate Al Ghassan Motors on their amazing performance for the year. With a strong model mix and currency exchange rates in favour for the Middle East customer, we hope this growth will be sustained in 2010.”
Founded in 1993, Al Ghassan Motors have held the franchise for Bentley Motors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 2005. Dealer Principal Mr. Ghassan Abdulrahman Al Sulaiman says “His inspiration was to convert his passion for Sport & Luxury cars into a successful and rewarding business”.
In 2010 this vision was realized when Al Ghassan Motors has been recognized as one of the 100 fastest growing companies in Saudi Arabia for its performance in 2009.
Commenting on this success, Mr Ghassan Al Sulaiman said “Rather than aiming to compete on a local level, our company benchmarks itself internationally, aiming to achieve results and service levels that are globally competitive. My vision for the company in the future is to become the recognised market leader in terms of service and product in Saudi Arabia while maintaining the highest international standards”
He further added “Our partnership with Bentley has grown from strength to strength and we are proud to represent this respected British marque. The introduction of the Continental Supersports to the already successful Continental range has created an increasing desire for Bentley in Saudi Arabia and I look forward to an equally successful 2010”.
The overall performance for the Bentley Middle East, Africa and India region decreased slightly by 6% for 2009 in the Middle East, but the overall growth of the region in terms of the share of worldwide volume has grown from 6% in 2007 to 12% of the worldwide total in 2009.
Al Ghassan Motors have also been the most successful dealer worldwide for sales of the Continental Flying Spur, the 4 door saloon from the Continental family. With the arrival of the Mulsanne, the new flagship saloon car for Bentley later in the year, the future looks very good for Bentley in the Middle East.
