How to open a new Porsche Centre

Porsche Centre Bournemouth opened the doors to its new, multi-million pound facility last week, with 9WERKS marking the occasion by hosting a special cars & coffee at the stunning home of what has also been announced as the UK’s fifth Porsche Classic Partner.

Two days after the event, Dealer Principal, Jon Sullivan, joins Lee and Andy at the Centre to explain what it’s like moving an established dealership into a new home in the midst of Brexit and Covid, and how the new dealership plans to attract old Porsche sports cars home again. This wide-ranging chat also includes discussion about GT car allocation, the global shortage of computer chips, and why community is key for both employees and enthusiasts dedicated to Stuttgart’s prancing horse.
