Windsor Airside Appointed Main Peugeot Dealers

Peugeot in Ireland have announced the appointment of Windsor Airside, Airside Motor Park, Swords, Co. Dublin to the Peugeot Dealer Network in Ireland. Windsor Airside is the latest to join the 36-strong Peugeot Dealer Network. A 7,000sq ft Peugeot showroom will open for business at Airside Motor Park, headed by Dealer Principal, Peter Nicholson on the 2nd January 2010. Speaking at the signing of contracts at Windsor Airside, David McConnell, Managing Director of Gowan Distributors, Peugeot Importers in Ireland, said, “I am very pleased to welcome Peter and his vastly experienced team of 25 to the Peugeot Dealer Network and I wish them every success for the future as Main Peugeot Dealers. This is an exciting time for the Peugeot Dealer Network in Ireland. We’ve just reduced our retail prices across the 107, 207, 308 and 407 ranges by up to 10%. 70% of our 43-model range qualifies for the newly introduced €1,500 scrappage deal announced in Budget 2010, such is the efficiency of our low-CO2 emitting petrol and diesel engines. The newly launched Peugeot 3008 has just won the prestigious Continental Irish Car of the Year 2010 award. And we now await the stunning new 5008 MPV 7-seater, arriving this February 2010.”

Gabriel Keane, CEO Windsor Motors, commented, “We are delighted to be adding Peugeot to our existing network. This is a very positive move for us and one we feel will work very well into the future. We are looking forward to working with Gowan Distributors”. Windsor Motors Group was established in 1968 and now employs 300. Ireland’s largest Dealer Group, Windsor Motors Group already operates eight Nissan dealerships, three Chevrolet and SsangYong dealerships and two Opel dealerships in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
