The Zoom-Zoom company has taken its share of the retail market from 2.3 percent in September 2007 to 3.1 percent in September 2008.  The September performance which saw Mazda selling 9,506 cars wasn't a blip.

 

“We've been growing our retail share this year and for the first nine months that share is 2.8 percent which is 0.7 percentage points up on the same time last year,” says managing director Jeremy Thomson.

Trinity Motors in Hinckley is urging drivers to slow down for National Road Safety Week.  The Coventry Road based Mazda dealership is throwing its weight behind the annual event, which aims to highlight the need for safer driving to cut the number of deaths and injuries caused on the nation's roads.  National Road Safety Week is organised by the road safety charity Brake and will be held from 10 -16 November 2008.  All proceeds raised will be used to support families bereaved by road crashes
