In the UK, another countdown is on. In July, LSH Auto UK is scheduled to open its latest state-of-the-art flagship at Brighton Road, Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Not content with resting on its laurels as one of the leading premium auto dealer groups, LSH Auto UK is in the final stage of unveiling its Mercedes-Benz of Stockport, which will be one of Europe's biggest Mercedes-Benz dealerships.

Stockport Gets Ready

Just around 18 months ago, LSH Auto announced its plans for the development, bringing a £60m investment to a land area of 42,310 sqm. In October 2017, when applying for planning permission to build this facility, it committed to regenerating the industrial site that previously had been neglected for years, and transforming this gateway to Stockport into a prominent landmark.

The development is now starting to breathe new life into the area. Mercedes-Benz of Stockport consists of two main buildings: the Mercedes-Benz Autohaus (a.k.a. Showroom) and the Mercedes-Benz Body & Paint Centre. Since 1 April 2019, the 17,166 sqm, three-storey Body & Paint Centre is already fully operational, providing body & paint, used car preparation, storage and related services, as well as 30 workshop bays. An initial 55 jobs have been created.

As for the main Mercedes-Benz Autohaus, 13,492 sqm, finishing touches are currently being applied to the three-storey facility. Scheduled for completion and official opening in July 2019, the Autohaus will be able to showcase 140 vehicles, including brand-new Mercedes-Benz cars as well as approved used cars.

Officially opened on 8th April 2019 and situated in Birmingham, England, Mercedes-Benz of Erdington is the largest dealership of LSH Auto UK dedicated to Mercedes-Benz approved used cars.

Breaking New Ground in the Industry

Located at Bromford Lane, Erdington, the “Used Car Centre of Excellence” presents a new and full-fledged offering for customers. Its showroom houses over 200 vehicles in its display, including 50 models in the showroom and 150 vehicles displayed outside.

Opening Celebration with an Exclusive F1 Experience

On 2nd May, a month after its official opening, an exclusive launch event was held at the dealership for customers, guests, and partners

The main highlight was a highly-anticipated session and Q&A with Formula 1 commentator David “Crofty” Croft, coupled with a display of a 1:1 replica of the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team racing car, as driven by racing legend Lewis Hamilton, and an impressive display of Mercedes-Benz vintage cars.

Down Under in Australia, Lei Shing Hong Group, the ultimate parent of LSH Auto International, is about to unveil a new landmark and its first-ever luxury retail development. Located in upscale Brisbane, the Breakfast Creek Wharf is a five-storey, 22,473 sqm luxury lifestyle precinct that stands over an entire river front.

Carrying a distinctive six-metre high “three-pointed star” that lights up the local skyline at night, it is also home to the latest upcoming LSH Auto Australia dealership. Upon its official opening, the new four-storey Mercedes-Benz Brisbane will be the largest Mercedes-Benz dealership in the Southern Hemisphere.

Largest Mercedes-Benz Dealership in Southern Hemisphere

Commencing operations in July 2019, Mercedes-Benz Brisbane will have a full floor dedicated to new car showrooms, a unique LSH gallery displaying classic Mercedes-Benz models, an AMG Performance Centre, an S-Class Lounge with concierge service, digital car customisation screen, and more than 40 service bays.

Amongst the range of new customer experience and vehicle service technology included will be new “MAHA” vehicle test lanes that measure steering, brake and suspension performance, as well as wheel alignment and tyre tread depth.

Bringing Luxury Experiences to Brisbane

Here in Brisbane, the Breakfast Creek Wharf is another exemplary development by sister company’s LSH Properties and LSH Auto International, as it aims to contribute to the area's rise into an increasingly sophisticated lifestyle hub.

On 27th April 2019, a public welfare event themed as “Let’s Sing Together” was held in Kunshan headquarters of Lei Shing Hong Machinery. The event is jointly organized by Shanghai Mei’ai Integration Center of Art & Public Welfare Development, Caterpillar and Lei Shing Hong Machinery. After over one month of planning and preparation, a group of 23 visually impaired people from Mei’ai Integration Centre and more than 30 volunteers from Caterpillar and Lei Shing Hong share the world of each other and get along well in harmony through listening and heart-to-heart communication.

In April 2019, LSH Auto China is set to unveil its second AMG Brand Centre in Shanghai, the world's second largest AMG Brand Centre at the time of writing.

The official opening will take place just 4 months after LSH Auto China launched the world's largest AMG Brand Centre and the first-ever AMG Brand Centre in Chinese Mainland, located in Beijing.

A New Icon in Shanghai

The opening once again highlights LSH Auto's unwavering commitment to Chinese Mainland and the AMG brand, setting LSH Auto apart in luxury auto retail with a series of "firsts".

"Our vision for the new AMG Brand Centre is to create a bold and energising environment here in Shanghai, and deliver a customer-centric AMG retail experience with our long-term business partner LSH Auto. The AMG Brand Centre Shanghai is the 2nd AMG Brand Centre in Chinese Mainland, where we welcome customers and enthusiasts, employees and partners alike," said Mr. Thomas Erb, Head of AMG Greater China at Daimler AG.

Located at Hunan Road and in convenient proximity to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the AMG Brand Centre Shanghai presents a 3,288 sqm and two stories of full-service capabilities, ranging from sales to aftersales, parts and accessories. Developed together with its sister company Lei Shing Hong Properties, it embodies an architecture that is as futuristic, puristic, and dynamic as the AMG cars themselves.
