Paul Evans Partners (PEP), the automotive consultancy, has finalised new partnerships in Turkey and Poland to enhance their presence in the European sector.

The company has been developing links with Turkey-based consultancy Soylu and Cengiz, who will work alongside PEP in providing services to Volvo dealerships in that country. The move is seen as a first step into the Turkish market and has taken 18 months to bring to fruition.

A similar partnership has been agreed with Warsaw based Herra & Wujec who will work closely with PEP to develop opportunities in Poland.

PEP is also considering the Asia-Pacific markets as its next major opportunity and has recently undertaken a fact-finding exploration of the automotive market in China.
