Testimonial
Unlocking New Markets and Driving Growth with Allied Group
Like many car retailers, Saltmarine found the prospect of selling vehicles into the Republic of Ireland challenging following Brexit, largely due to the complexities of new trade barriers. For a time, this effectively closed off a significant market for our business.
Partnering with Allied Group has been a transformative experience. They brought a proactive solution to the table, utilising their deep expertise in the Windsor Framework to reopen the Southern market for us. Their guidance on the benefits of UKIMS and Duty Waivers was instrumental in navigating the red tape that had previously held us back.
Thanks to Allied’s support, we are now seeing a surge in sales to the Republic of Ireland, particularly in Hybrid Electric vehicles where the demand is driven by lower VRT costs compared to petrol or diesel vehicles.
This partnership has done more than just handle the paperwork; it has informed our buying strategy. We are now confidently stocking vehicles specifically suited for the export market, knowing we have the right partner to handle the process. Allied Group is a local partner that truly delivers customs solutions.
Michael Salt, Dealer Principal, Saltmarine Cars
As an independent dealership, our time and resources are focused entirely on sourcing and selling quality used cars, not deciphering complex post-Brexit customs paperwork.
The new trade barriers initially made selling vehicles into the Republic of Ireland an administrative headache that we simply didn’t have the capacity for.
Bringing Allied Group on board has been an absolute game-changer for our business. Their seamless handling of customs clearances, alongside their expertise in the Windsor Framework and UKIMS, has completely removed the red tape. They manage the entire export process effortlessly, meaning the Southern market is completely open to us again. Allied Group provides the exact kind of reliable, hands-on support that an independent dealer needs to thrive in today’s market.
