BMW Group Financial Services Great Britain, which provides finance, leasing and
insurance facilities to BMW and MINI customers in the UK, reached a historical
milestone on 10 September 2003 with the company's portfolio of active customers
breaking through the 100,000 barrier for the first time.
The company's chief executive, Frank Munk, said: "We are thrilled to reach such
a significant milestone in our history and are delighted to hit the 100,000
mark ahead of our forecasts. This reflects the outstanding growth in the sales
of new and used BMW and MINI cars and BMW motorcycles in the UK and the
significant part that BMW Group Financial Services plays in supporting these
sales through BMW's UK dealer network. We look forward to continuing to
support the BMW Group and its UK dealer network with the launch of a number of
exciting new cars in the coming months including the new 5 Series, the 6 Series
Coupe, the X3 and the MINI Convertible".
Williams of Rochdale initiated the 100,000th agreement. BMW Financial
Services' commercial director, David Hannah, said: "The customer, a gentleman
from Rochdale, has used our services before to acquire both a BMW motorcycle
and a 3 Series. The record breaking deal is for another 3 Series Coupe, which
is being supplied under the BMW Approved Used Car programme. We will be
contacting the customer to offer him an all expenses paid trip for two to
Munich to recognise this very important landmark for our company and to thank
him for his loyalty to both BMW and BMW Financial Services".
