Artist Ian Cook – popbangcolour.com – wowed guests with his unique artwork using remote-controlled cars to create a one-off piece immortalising the Golf GTI which will be showcased in the Swansea showroom and serve as a lasting memento of the opening.
Jeremy Phillips, Brand Manager at Sinclair Volkswagen in Swansea, said: ‘The evening was a fantastic way of thanking everyone for their hard work and patience while the new showroom was built. It’s taken almost three years of planning and construction but it has definitely been worth the wait. I’m delighted that so many people joined us to celebrate our ‘Big Night Out’ and hope that they thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the chance to get a sneak preview of the new facilities here on Langdon Road.’
The eye-catching new Sinclair Volkswagen site is centred around a unique glass atrium with the capacity to display 17 different models from the Volkswagen range. In addition the site offers an enlarged Approved Used Volkswagen display and improved customer parking, as well as a 16-bay workshop equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment required to service and maintain customers’ cars to the highest standards
The conceptual new building not only supports the brand’s new look, but also offers customers a contemporary shopping environment that is light, airy and relaxing.
Jeremy added: ‘Throughout the construction programme, our aim has been to improve and enhance our customers’ retail experience. Operating from a truly world class retail outlet, it is now the intention of every member of the Sinclair Volkswagen Swansea team to deliver the levels of service that match our working environment.’
Sinclair Volkswagen Swansea is part of the Sinclair Group which has Volkswagen sites in Newport, Cardiff, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Swansea and Neyland.
