H.R. Owen has strengthened its Maserati representation with the official opening of a new showroom in the north of England, based in Stockport, an affluent and entrepreneurial area of Manchester. The new showroom joins the existing Maserati site in St Albans and the long-established flagship in South Kensington, London.

Located alongside the existing Lamborghini Manchester site, H.R. Owen Maserati Manchester South will become the newest Maserati dealership in England, offering the full model range, including the Levante SUV when it launches in the UK later this year.

H.R. Owen has almost two decades of history with the Maserati brand, and the new showroom is a great way to further cement this established partnership.

To celebrate the opening, H.R. Owen filled the showroom with Maserati models old and new, including the 2004 6-litre V12 MC12 homologation supercar. The £1.2 million venue was filled with invited guests from across the local area, with cocktails and canapés served and a DJ on hand to entertain throughout the night.

Peter Denton, Region Manager, Maserati North Europe, said “It’s wonderful to see the opening of the new H.R. Owen Maserati showroom. This new dealer site reinforces Maserati’s commitment to expanding our sales network by 50%, increasing representation in local markets for both sales and aftersales. This, coupled with additions to the current model range - such as the Levante - set to further increase appeal across a wider luxury customer base, supports plans to increase global production to 75,000 units by 2018 (in 2015 this figure was 32,500).

Mark Langfield, H.R. Owen’s Maserati brand director, is excited to take the brand to Manchester, commenting: “It was great to welcome guests to the new showroom and update them on Maserati and H.R. Owen’s plans for the next few years. The event was an engaging and entertaining way to introduce our presence in the local area.

“H.R. Owen has a long history with the famous Italian manufacturer and with major new models launching in 2016, and the continued success of the Ghibli, there has never been a better time to take the Maserati brand to a new location, extending our reach beyond London and the south of England.”
