Arnold Clark Expands GWM ORA's UK Presence With New Retail Sites
GWM ORA UK has announced Arnold Clark as its newest retail partner, with two new sites opening in Glasgow Linwood and Stirling. This partnership expands GWM ORA's network to 40 customer service points across the UK, including sales, aftersales, and test drive centres.
Toby Marshall, Managing Director of GWM ORA, stated: "Expanding our retail network is something we’re dedicated to delivering and we are well on track for our targets this year. The appointment of a known household brand like Arnold Clark, is testament to the reputation GWM ORA is building across the UK."
Earlier this year, GWM ORA UK revealed plans to accelerate its network expansion. The goal is to ensure customers have convenient access to maintenance and repair services while establishing a robust network of physical retail spaces throughout the UK.
Gavin McKenzie, Arnold Clark GWM ORA Brand Director, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "We’re delighted to welcome GWM ORA to the Arnold Clark family. While they may be a relatively new manufacturer to the UK, they are an established brand with a fantastic reputation, and we look forward to a long and fruitful partnership. Our new branches are now up and running in Glasgow and Stirling and our employees are thrilled to welcome our customers through the doors and share the fantastic range of GWM ORA models we have available – as well as previewing the exciting new models which are coming later in the year."
