Italian sporting car manufacturer, Alfa Romeo, and prestigious automotive retail group, HR Owen, have just announced the opening of a new Alfa Romeo dealership in London. The flagship dealership site is located in Parsons Green. It has already opened its doors to the public, and demonstrates Alfa Romeo’s renewed commitment to improving its customer experience in terms of the sales process and aftersales service, so as to deliver a quality step-change in all aspects which impact on customer satisfaction.

The new HR Owen dealership is showcasing Alfa Romeo’s recently launched mid-sized sports saloon and estate, the Alfa 159 and Alfa 159 Sportwagon, as well as the stylish Alfa Brera coupe, alongside current models such as the Alfa 147 and Alfa GT. The new Alfa Spider is also being previewed at the dealership.

Alfa Romeo’s UK managing director, Christopher Nicoll, says: "We are very pleased to be working with such a prestigious group as HR Owen, which has a strong association with premium motoring and holds the same values and vision as us. This is a very exciting time for the brand as we introduce a number of new products, including the iconic Alfa Spider at the beginning of 2007, and implement a series of far-reaching changes to our dealer network."

Welcoming the association with Alfa Romeo, HR Owen’s chief executive, Nick Lancaster, says: "Alfa Romeo’s rich sporting heritage makes it one of the most desirable franchises today. HR Owen is delighted to bring back Alfa Romeo to central London, which is one of the world’s leading playing fields for competing luxury brands. We aim to use our expertise at this end of the market to capitalise on Alfa Romeo’s fantastic range of new models."

HR Owen Plc has evolved into the group it is today over a period of more than 70 years. Captain Harold Rolfe Owen opened his dealership, selling Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars in 1932. Over the years, the original business in Berkeley Street, London, has relocated, been joined by many other franchises and experienced a number of 'owners', culminating with the purchase of H.R. Owen dealerships by Malaya Group Plc in 1994. Malaya Group since attributed the HR Owen name to the majority of its prestige franchises and adopted the HR Owen name for the group in 1997 - the year HR Owen celebrated its 65th anniversary.
