Opening of the new Bentley Centre Singapore

Wearnes Automotive, Bentley’s oldest retail partner in the world outside of the United Kingdom, officially unveiled recently the new Bentley centre located at Singapore’s premium automotive belt on Leng Kee Road, setting a significant new milestone for the 81-year-old partnership. Two new models, the Bentley Continental GT V8 and the Bentley Continental GTC, were also officially launched.

Mr Geoff Dowding, Regional Director of United Kingdom, Asia and Middle East said, “Bentley and Wearnes Automotive have enjoyed a long and successful partnership in Singapore which has spanned 81 years. Both are steeped in heritage and have many parallels in our respective histories. Notably, our shared attention to fine details and customer service has served the partnership well. We are very excited about the Bentley Continental GTC and Continental GT V8 models, which are targeted at the sportier set.

Mr Andre Roy, Group Managing Director of Wearnes Automotive, said, “The response to the new models Bentley Continental GTC and GT V8 has been very encouraging. We are confident of hitting sales growth of up to 50% for Bentley in Singapore in 2012. With the new Bentley centre, we have enhanced the seamless and customised “Wearnes Experience”, synonymous with Bentley’s standards of excellence. We are also delighted to announce that Wearnes Automotive will now present a 5-year warranty and 5 years of free maintenance for every Bentley model delivered. This reflects Wearnes Automotive’s commitment to remain as one of the leading luxury retailers in Southeast Asia.”

The new 900-square metre Bentley centre, which will be green-mark certified, features elements of dynamism and transparency, showcasing Bentley’s dedication to distinctive design and handcrafted luxury. Its double-volume complete glass façade allows natural light in, transforming the plush spatial composition inside into a jewel box, with the spotlight on the automotive art of the Bentley models. On display are the Bentley Mulsanne, Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT W12 as well as the two newly-revealed Continental GTC W12 and Continental GT V8.

Customers can expect classic hospitality and personalised service beginning from the Bentley Concierges to the private configuration room where they can customise their very own Bentley. To guarantee best service, the number of personnel on Wearnes Automotive’s prestige team has been doubled. To gain a better understanding of the technical aspects and features of their bespoke Bentley cars, customers can spend one-on-one time with a Bentley Specialist at the technical laboratory located at the end of the centre.

In celebration of the unveiling of the showroom and new models, and to further enhance personalised service, Wearnes Automotive is now presenting a 5-year warranty and 5 years of free maintenance for every new Bentley delivered from the new centre.
