Infiniti's UK foundations have been reinforced with the opening of the country's fifth Infiniti Centre, at the heart of England's North West.

Located in Stockport, the centre serves Greater Manchester and surrounding counties, with towns such as Altrincham, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Buxton, Knutsford and Worsley expected to prove important markets for the performance luxury brand from Japan as it embarks on a growth phase with the target of taking one in 10 luxury car sales by 2016.

"The centre is in a fantastic location at the heart of a strong Infiniti demographic audience," said Richard Braithwaite, centre manager. "We have already sold our first car to an ardent Lexus driver."

Infiniti Centre Stockport is on Bailey Road in Portwood, less than 100 metres from the M60 Stockport interchange with its easy links to all motorways within the North West region (including M6, M56, M61, M62, and M67). The sat nav address is: SK1 2BT.

Areas covered by Infiniti Centre Stockport are Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, North Wales, Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria, further extending Infiniti's reach across the UK.
