ust in time to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary, Automotive Art Wildey has just completed a major overhaul of its retail store, service centre, and administrative offices. The Wildey branch was born in 1991 when Automotive Art moved from its original location in Tweedside Road to Wildey St Michael. The store was then completely redesigned and renovated in 1995, and was opened by the then Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Owen Arthur at an official opening ceremony. While the store has gone through several changes in layout since then, this is the first complete re-design of the store in many years. The inspiration for Wildey’s design is borrowed from the state-of-the-art retail concept that is demonstrated at the company’s Welches branch that was launched in 2011. The chic, modern design features dark overtones highlighted with splashes of colour and inspirational automotive graphics, giving the store an edgy, street-like feel that is tastefully presented. In speaking to what customers can expect at the new and improved Wildey store, Jonathon Hart, general manager for Automotive Art Barbados says that in addition to meeting the new retail standards in terms of look and feel, the store layout will be much easier to navigate which will allow the company to enhance the signature customer service for which it is known. “In addition, our service bays have been brought forward to face the entrance and to be immediately adjacent to the retail store and customer lounge. This will enhance our

He went onto say that a new customer lounge concept was being introduced that would offer customers the comfort akin to being in their own living rooms. In addition, the company’s administrative offices and wholesale division are being given a full revamp which will not only enhance our professional image but also “enhance the productivity of our employees due to the newly decorated and furnished environs”.
