Autovaletdirect franchise makes stops at Cardiff and Glasgow shopping centres
St David's Shopping Centre, Cardiff and St Enoch Centre, Glasgow were the next venues to host the Hyundai i30 Road Show as it moved from the Trafford Centre, Manchester.
Hyundai have embarked on a nationwide launch of their new range by showing their vehicles at various shopping centres throughout the UK. Autovaletdirect were awarded the preparation and maintenance contract for all the events at eight Shopping Centres in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland over an eight-week period.
On the 9th April 2012, Aurovaletdirect franchisees Richard Keen and Shaun Kinsell began their weeks at St David's Shopping Centre, Cardiff and St Enoch Centre, Glasgow respectively.

“I arrived at St David’s shopping centre at the arranged meeting point at Midnight,” said Richard.
“I valeted both cars inside and out but the light in the shopping centre was very poor at that time of night as we only had car headlights and some light coming from Marks and Spencer’s. I decided to return early on the Tuesday morning to re-clean the cars in the daylight as I wanted to make sure they had a professional finish. The fire alarms then went off and we had to evacuate the shopping centre and wait outside in the cold for ages. I then met the showgirls on the stand, Alex, Rachael and Sarah who were very happy with the appearance of the cars.
“On the following days I attended to the cars three times a day making sure they were kept pristine, clean and free from fingerprints. In-between attending to the cars I managed to find time to visit all the music and guitar shops in Cardiff... my other passion, a close second to my business!
"The week went very smoothly and was a satisfying week knowing that the cars the customers in the shopping centre were looking at had been kept clean at all times by myself.
"I returned home on the Sunday evening glad to be back for some home cooked food and to see the family."
Shaun Kinsell
“Entering my fifth year as an Autovaletdirect franchisee, this event took me well into double figures on events attended by myself for the network,” said Shaun.
“This event was slightly different to previous ones as it was based in a Shopping Centre and for new clients, Hyundai. After initial stand set-up the week went well maintaining the cars and stand and meeting acquaintances from past events.
"It was great working with the events team and assisting to promote Hyundai’s new range of vehicles.”
Next stop for the road show is the Westfield Centre, Stratford London.
