Audi has announced that it will, over the next 18 months, invest €80 million in its Irish dealer network. The programme forms part of a worldwide project for the Audi group.
Rolling out state-of-the-art facilities is said to be well underway. Around 260 jobs will be created directly and supporting industries should also see an increase in employment as a result of the changes. The managing director of Audi Ireland, Andrew Doyle said, "This investment will ensure we provide state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional customer service that is expected of a number one premium marque."
The first new 'Audi Terminal' was unveiled last December when Audi Sligo opened officially. In June the next Terminal, Audi North Dublin, will open - followed by Audi Waterford in July.
Dublin-based firm EMD architects are responsible for the new facilities, which should all be completed by 2013.
