HR Owen’s flagship Rolls-Royce showroom in the heart of Mayfair has celebrated after a record 2016 in which it sold the third most cars in the brand’s global network.

The dealership Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London said that the most successful year in its history could be attributed to sustainable growth in new car commissions, Provenance pre-owned and new Bespoke Financial Services offering.

Its success saw the Berkeley Square facility rise from seventh position in 201, to third last year, in terms of individual customer commissions within the Rolls-Royce dealer network.

Claus Andersen, brand director of Rolls-Royce, said: “This historic record result for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London is testament to the capital’s position as a global centre of entrepreneurship.

“These highly successful men and women are the drivers of our economy, creating jobs and wealth and to them the commissioning of a Bespoke Rolls-Royce stands as the ultimate reward for their success.

“Our iconic showroom in Berkeley Square has proven the perfect place in which to serve this growing new breed of the successful businessperson. We are proud to deliver an exquisite, hand-made British luxury good to the world’s most influential men and women.”

Rolls-Royce’s operations in the UK as a whole grew by 27%, adding up to the company’s second most successful year in its history.
