Knutsford-based Mangoletsi is the country’s
largest, and longest-established, authorised Alfa Romeo and
Fiat dealership. Its Managing Director, Fraser Hudson, is
understandably proud of the company’s success. “Everyone who
works at Mangoletsi is passionate about the product we
represent, and I think our enthusiasm is infectious, because
once a customer buys an Alfa Romeo or Fiat from us, they
seem to fall in love with their car,” explains Fraser. “It’s
a joy to be working with such a premier motor manufacturer
because we are able to offer a classic and sophisticated
brand with a long heritage, which we know our customers
love.”
Many Mangoletsi customers return to the dealership whenever
they decide to replace their car. “We have clients who have
been buying cars from us for over thirty years. I feel
honored that they value and trust us,” says Fraser, who
believes Mangoletsi has established an enviable
reputation. “We pride ourselves on knowing the product
inside out, so the knowledge of our staff is incredible. My
after-sales manager, Ken Buckley, has been with the company
for 34 years, my senior deputy parts manager, Roy Jeffries,
has been with us for 35 years, and my top technician, Nigel
Lawton is often consulted by the Alfa Romeo technical team
in Italy.”
“We’ve achieved a great deal over the 39
years we’ve been here, and we’ve built up an enviable
reputation,” says Fraser, who is Vice Chairman of the Alfa
Romeo Dealer Association, with responsibility for
representing all Alfa Romeo dealerships throughout Great
Britain. “We also represent the UK at Alfa Romeo conferences
in Italy,” he adds. “We’re often asked to get involved, and
offer our opinions on certain design aspects of new models,
and we get to see cars well in advance of their release
dates. So it helps enormously that I know what is going on
in the industry, and I’m able to steer the business in the
right direction.”
Today Mangoletsi is facing its biggest
challenge so far as the revival of the Alfa Romeo brand in
the UK gets seriously underway with the arrival of the ‘new
breed’ of Alfa Romeos: the 159, 159 Sportwagon, Brera and
Spider. “The new cars epitomise the Alfa Romeo brand
totally,” concludes Fraser, “and demand has been strong and
instantaneous.” |
