Aston Martin enhances retail presence and ultra-luxury customer experience with opening of new UK dealerships

• British brand celebrates first UK dealerships embracing ultra-luxury vision and new corporate identity

•Aston Martin Birmingham official opened following £10m investment in new landmark location

Aston Martin is enhancing its retail presence in the UK with the opening of a series of landmark new dealerships, building on the brand's commitment to providing the most tailored ultra-luxury automotive customer experience.

The closest dealership to the marque's global headquarters in Warwickshire, Aston Martin Birmingham is now officially open at a state-of-the-art new location in Solihull, following a £10m investment from dealer partner Grange, part of the Cambria Automobiles group.

The striking new location, with a unique exterior feature wall, covers a total footprint of 1204m2, and has created 30 jobs. Featuring a bespoke Q by Aston Martin customer specification lounge, it offers the very highest levels of luxury personalisation and the opportunity for clients to engage with the latest cutting-edge technology to digitally configure their own intimately personal Aston Martin alongside an extensive range of physical samples. The showroom presents eight curated Aston Martin models, provides an exquisite bespoke handover experience, and supports ongoing maintenance of vehicles with a seven-bay class-leading aftersales facility, providing the very latest equipment and technology. The new location builds on Grange's successful opening of new premises for Aston Martin Edinburgh earlier this year.

Aston Martin's footprint in the north of England is also boosted by the launch of a new state of the art 1468m2 dealership in Leeds, to be operated by Yorkshire-based automotive retailer JCT600. Located at its Brooklands location, the dealership offers customers an expansive ultra-luxury lounge and specification space, in addition to a display of 10 Aston Martin models at any one-time. Providing exceptional customer service across sales and aftersales, it also boasts a nine-bay dedicated aftersales facility and curated parts and accessories area, further heightening customer engagement and personalisation opportunities.

In addition to the new dealerships, Aston Martin is pleased to introduce Marshall Motor Group to the UK dealer network. Marshall will operate from Sevenoaks, representing the South East of England. The UK dealer network will continue to build a portfolio of new developments across the remainder of 2024 and 2025.

Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand & Commercial Officer at Aston Martin said: 'The investment in these landmark new UK retail locations comes at the perfect time, as we bring to market the most diverse, dynamic and desirable portfolio within the ultra-luxury and high-performance automotive segments. The thrilling new Vantage, upgraded DBX707 and class-leading DB12 are now joined by our recently unveiled V12 flagship model, Vanquish, completing the strongest line-up of products in our history. It is brilliant to have this breathtaking portfolio available at world-class dealerships, providing the very highest standards in luxury customer experience.

'The significant long-term investment being made from our UK dealer network represents the positive trajectory of the Aston Martin brand along with a strong confidence in the new portfolio of models we have brought to market. Alongside our partners, we will continue to invest in the retail strategy for our home market and internationally, through development of our network including high-profile flagship locations including a Central London location now identified and set to be revealed in 2025.'

The new UK dealerships build on Aston Martin's expansion in Europe with new showrooms and boutique locations in Baden-Baden, Nürnberg, Hamburg and Prague all to open before the end of 2024. Following the opening of a new landmark showroom inside the Peninsular Tokyo Hotel earlier this year, the brand's presence in Asia will also be boosted by the official reopening of Aston Martin Seoul later this month, adding to the opening earlier this year of Aston Martin Suwon with new importer Britannia Auto, marking a new era for Aston Martin in South Korea.
