Car dealer Rybrook is to manage Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ seventh showroom in the UK.

Set to open in the first half of 2016, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bristol will be at Cribbs Causeway, north of the city.

Responsible for sales and servicing across the South West of the UK, the showroom will serve customers from an area of more than 12,000 square miles from Lands End, through Wales and up to the Cotswolds.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bristol is Rybrook’s second Rolls-Royce franchise. It operates Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Birmingham.

Construction of the showroom is due to start in October, and will open officially to customers in the spring.

The launch of the new Bristol showroom will create 46 new jobs.

The opening of Rolls-Royce’s seventh UK showroom will help the brand expand its presence across its domestic market, and signals Rolls-Royce’s confidence in the continuing success of the UK economy as it continues to grow.

James Crichton, regional director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Europe, said, “Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bristol will help us deliver further sustainable growth in the United Kingdom, and we are confident that our strengthened partnership with Rybrook will help us meet a clear demand in this part of the country for our super-luxury motor vehicles.”

Henry Whale, managing director of Rybrook, said: “The opening of our new showroom in Bristol represents a significant investment for Rybrook at a time of growing confidence in the British economy.

“There are thousands of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders across the South West, many of whom turn to Rolls-Royce for their personal transport. We are committed to delivering pinnacle standards in customer satisfaction as we look forward to launching in the first half of next year.”
