Renault examines multiple retail methods
26 June 2019
Renault is exploring multiple new retail initiatives, according to UK managing director Vincent Tourette.
In an interview for sister publication Auto Retail Bulletin, Mr Tourette confirmed the brand was in discussions with both the major supermarket brands, as previously reported in Auto Retail Agenda, as well as other retailers.
Mr Tourette said he was following the progress of Ford’s sales outlet in Next that was set up by Rockar in Manchester and had been in touch with Rockar although he was not working with the digital retailing specialist.
In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Tourette said he was aiming to increase the network’s average return on sales from just above 0.4% now to 1%. He said he was also hoping to raise the overhead absorption level from “below the industry average” through improved workshop capacity.
