A new era begins for Saab

2nd August 2010 Print

Saab GB is pleased to announce another milestone has been reached with the relocation of the company to brand new head offices.  Saab GB will be based at Martell House in the Cranfield Technology Park adjoining Cranfield University in Milton Keynes. The location fits perfectly with Saab’s aerospace heritage as Cranfield University is a leading postgraduate centre for technology, engineering and aerospace.

The move marks another significant step in the ongoing and overall separation process from General Motors UK. The relocation follows on from the completion of the sale of Saab GB to Spyker Cars which took place in May this year, and marks another milestone in an exciting new era for Saab GB as a part of the independent Saab Spyker organisation.

Jonathan Nash, Managing Director of Saab GB, said: “We are very excited – moving into our new head offices is an important milestone in the separation process and for the future of an independent Saab GB.  Following the initial sale of Saab Automobile to Spyker Cars in February and the subsequent completion of the sale of Saab GB in late May, we have been busy recruiting a new independent Saab GB team as well as completing the relocation to our new offices.”  He continued: “We have also welcomed the arrival of the all new Saab 9-5 saloon into our dealer showrooms and successfully launched the vehicle to the UK press with critical acclaim.”

Since the official launch in early July, the all new Saab 9-5 saloon has received an overwhelmingly positive response from the press, dealer network and customers alike.  Saab GB will continue to support the ongoing launch of the new Saab 9-5 saloon with a major UK advertising campaign in the coming weeks.
