Northern Ireland Isuzu dealers John Barr Cars and Eakin Bros have been officially opened by Isuzu managing directors.
This is the first time that NI Isuzu dealers have had a visit from the Japanese managing director and underlines the importance placed by Isuzu in growing representation for the brand through substantial investments in first class customer facilities.
Mikio Tsukui, managing director and CEO Isuzu Europe said “It is a great honour to have our dealers investing in their futures with Isuzu, both dealer operations are state of the art new build and located in prime locations with easy access to major road arteries.
“Both dealers are very highly regarded in our network; Eakin Bros have an outstanding 96 year pedigree, are third generation motor dealers and have represented Isuzu from the earliest days in the UK; John Barr Cars are a young company that have expanded rapidly and consistently with Isuzu and in a short time have outgrown each of their previous Isuzu locations in Dundrod and Crumlin through consistent high sales.
“They are each top-class representatives for our Brand, and a pleasure to have within the global Isuzu family.”
“These dealers have planned and invested to take their businesses to the next level – it is a good news story in challenging times, and testament to the dealers’ abilities.
“Both are delivering great progress and it is my intention to ensure we keep building the best pick-ups in the market to send to their many loyal customers”
UK managing director William Brown added: “I’m personally delighted with this huge double leap forward. Customers old and new will benefit greatly from bigger and better facilities.
“It’s no exaggeration to say these new sites are the finest Isuzu dealers in Europe, all credit to each of our dealers.
“Of course, our network is not just about glamorous buildings, and year after year John Barr Cars and Eakin Bros have won multiple Dealer of the Year awards in both Sales and Aftersales, by delivering good old-fashioned customer service and thorough attention to detail in every aspect of their businesses.”
