Mazda has opened its own corporate support centre (CSC) and expanded its corporate sales team.

The Twickenham-based Mazda Corporate sales support centre, which opened on July 1, replaces the Mazda Business Centre. The team will be managed by fleet and remarketing director Adam Pumfrey.

In the four years since the business centre opened fleet sales have increased from around 3,000 units in 2002 to over 18,000 units this year out of a total volume of around 50,000 registrations.

Last year Mazda sold a total of 45,706 vehicles in the UK of which 15,998 vehicles went to fleets.

Pumfrey said: “The new centre will give us everything we had before and more. The new sophisticated online services will allow company car drivers to interact closer than ever before with Mazda and advise us of their requirements.”

“Existing customers require ongoing service and support and that is what the CSC provides as it is staffed by a Mazda dedicated team of fleet professionals.”

Typically telephone and email inquiries will range from scheduling and booking Mazda demonstrators for both existing clients and prospects to supplying vehicle wholelife cost figures, product information and benefit-in-kind tax data to handling event invitations to fleet operators.

Plus, customers and prospects will be able to check demonstrator availability and book vehicles online.
