PRESS RELEASE
Release date: 10th November 2014
Mobil1 provides
key support to independents through link-up with IGA
The Independent Garage
Association (IGA) is delighted to announce an innovative new relationship with
ExxonMobil – owner of industry leading synthetic brand Mobil 1.
The tie-up, a first for
the IGA, will see the ‘world’s leading synthetic brand’ working with its UK
distributor network to cover the cost of RMI membership for one year, for any
independent garages that are currently not supplied with Mobil oil who join
their network.
The offer, which is
subject to terms and conditions, is open to both new and existing members of
the IGA.
“It is outstanding
that ExxonMobil recognises the potential and bright future of independent
garages in the UK. We are delighted that they have chosen to work in this
sector with the very best of the UK’s independent garages – IGA members. The
independent garage sector is thriving and it is a sign of the sustained
confidence in this sector that a brand like Mobil 1 is keen to work in this
market,” commented IGA director Stuart James.
Mobil 1’s link with the
IGA comes at a time when the association has recently achieved its highest ever
membership renewal rate and announced a record number of independent
technicians taking up its technical training courses. For James, negotiating
offers such as this one is all part of IGA’s commitment to go the extra mile
for its members.
“As well as providing
a strong voice for the independent garage sector, we are committed to helping
our members to continue to deliver exceptional service to their customers by
making sure they are provided with the very best opportunities, training, tools
and advice,” he said.
“We are delighted to be
working closely with IGA, and bringing the combined benefits of our brand, our
network of industry leading distributors, and our technical expertise to IGA
members through this exciting new agreement,” commented ExxonMobil Sector Specialist
Martin Bullock.
