Bentley and Vindis Group in new partnership for Norwich

Vindis Group, which has close to fifty years of automotive industry experience and employs over 600 people at 16 outlets covering Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, recently purchased the Duke Street dealership from Sytner Group.

"Everyone at the dealership has warmly welcomed the new partnership as Vindis Group has the size, resources and expertise to ensure Bentley Norwich will continue to expand," said General Manager Patrick Sneezum.

"However, there is the additional benefit of joining a family-owned business which has a particularly strong commitment to customer service in the region and a real passion for motoring. These qualities are essential elements of the Bentley ethos," Sneezum adds.

Michael Mayer, Bentley Motors UK and European Regional Director, said Vindis Group had joined the Bentley marque at a positive time with two highly distinctive Crewe-built cars, the Mulsanne and Continental Supersports, recently receiving considerable media and customer interest at the prestigious Frankfurt International Motor Show.

Mayer added that the Vindis’s long-standing relationship with major brands including Volkswagen and Audi as well as a strong focus on customer relations had been important considerations.

Situated in Duke Street, Bentley Norwich employs 12 full-time staff and offers the complete Bentley Model range as well a wide selection of used cars under the Bentley Approved programme. The dealership also has a team of factory-trained service technicians and offers an extensive range of financial products through Bentley Financial Services.

Established in 1960, Vindis Group represents Audi, Lotus, Skoda and Volkswagen. The company also represents Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and owns and operates a bodyshop business which has achieved BSI Kitemark status.
