Mazda to double fleet network

Mazda is doubling the number of UK fleet specialist dealers to boost corporate sales. The Japanese carmaker currently has seven fleet dealers in its 140-strong network.

Now Mazda hopes to increase that number to 15 by the end of this year as the dealer network grows to 157 sites. Each specialist will have a dedicated corporate sales manager and a corporate demonstrator fleet.

David McGonigle, Mazda fleet and remarketing director, says: “It is impor-tant that all Mazda dealers are equip-ped to sell fleet and we have establ-ished a programme to encourage that.”
