Work has started on a new Audi dealership in Sligo, due to open at the end of 2011. When finished it will provide 20 new jobs in the area.
Audi Sligo will be owned and operated by Kevin & Neil Connolly who have invested €5 million in the venture.
Establishing the new dealership is part of a five-year plan by Audi. The company's ambition is to become the number one prestige car brand in Ireland by 2015. Over the next three years €80 million will be invested in Audi's retail network to establish ten dedicated dealerships serving the whole country.
Kevin Connolly, Dealer Principal, said, "We will work closely with Audi Ireland to ensure that customers in the Sligo area receive a premium level of service to match the Audi brand."
