Renault UK has selected Nottingham’s Bristol Street Motors Renault to become one of its 26 Renaultsport specialist retailers.

The Haydn Road dealership is the first Bristol Street Motors outlet to receive the accreditation which was first issued when Renault launched its Renaultsport-specific dealership concept in 2015.

Members of the team at Bristol Street Motors, a division of Vertu Motors plc, received dedicated advanced technological training to sell models, such as the Clio Renaultsport Trophy and Mégane Renaultsport Cup-S, before the dealership was able to assume its new status.

The general manager of Bristol Street Motors Renault Nottingham, Tom Garratt, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen as one of the 26 sites to pioneer Renaultsport. Being the first Bristol Street Motors dealership to join the network is the icing on the cake.

“Everyone at Bristol Street Motors Renault Nottingham works hard to ensure customer satisfaction and we always ensure that our salespeople are up to date with the latest technological advances from Renault, but this new status cements our reputation as one of the premier Renault dealerships in the Country.”
