Abu Dhabi Motors wins Rolls-Royce '2012 Global Dealer of the Year' award

Abu Dhabi Motors edged out the Rolls-Royce dealerships in Beijing, London and New York for the title, following an outstanding year where it opened the world's largest Rolls-Royce showroom, recorded a 27% growth in sales over the previous year, was once again the highest selling dealer of Rolls-Royce vehicles in the Middle East, and the second highest in the entire world behind Beijing.

The dealership also continues to be a global leader in Bespoke Rolls-Royce vehicles, boasting the richest bespoke specifications, and developing creative vehicle concepts specifically for their customers in the UAE.

In 2012 a host of unique models were conceptualised by Kadhim Al Helli, Rolls Royce Brand Manager at Abu Dhabi Motors before being hand-crafted by specialists at the home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England. These included the Rolls-Royce Phantom Venus, Phantom Rayyan, Phantom Coupe Mirage and Ghost Firnas.

Celebrating and recognising the best performing dealers for their dedication, professionalism and commitment to the brand throughout 2012 as well as their applied systems and processes in sales and after sales, the Rolls-Royce Dealer Awards Program is one of the most sought after recognitions within the company.

Designed to improve operational standards, ensure top class customer experiences and encourage sales growth throughout the region, the awards honoured Abu Dhabi Motors for the pivotal role it has played in contributing to increasing global sales of the Rolls-Royce brand.

Arno Husselmann, General Manager of Abu Dhabi Motors, said, "The Rolls-Royce brand is stronger than ever in the UAE Capital, and we hope to continue with further growth in the coming year to reaffirm our position as one of the best-selling dealers of Rolls-Royce vehicles in the entire world. Considering the size of Abu Dhabi's population compared to larger populated markets such as London, New York, Beijing and Shanghai, it is a great and satisfying accomplishment to continuously achieve year-on-year success with the "pinnacle brand" in the Automotive Industry. Our performance is exemplary and per capita, a benchmark for the Industry."

"This supports the investments our owners made in opening the world's largest showroom, with a dedicated workshop, along with extensive training for staff and the latest in aftersales equipment, based on a commitment to the Abu Dhabi market as well as belief in ourselves around our successful track record over the past 10 years in which we won 7 Global Awards. We now have industry-leading infrastructure in place to further grow Rolls-Royce in Abu Dhabi over the coming years and continue to dominate the upper premium segment with more world-class achievements. A performance in line with the world-class standards set by the country, Abu Dhabi and supporting the vision of our wise rulers towards 2030," he added.
