UK automotive industry is on the up with premium products leading the way

UK Automotive Industry

After the recent spell of negative news in the motor industry, the team at Premier Products were pleased to hear some more positive news about UK car production this week.

According to research carried out by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), car production in the UK grew by 15.5% in September 2015 when compared to September 2014.

A growing trend towards premium products is a key factor in the rise, with over a third of the UK’s car production falling into the premium category. That figure is also expected to rise to 54% by 2020. The UK is currently the second-highest producer of premium cars, behind Germany.

The report also found that in five years time, the UK’s automotive industry will be producing more than two million cars per year – breaking the current record of 1.92 million cars produced in a single year, set in 1972.

Alongside the rise in manufacturing is a predicted rise in employment in the UK’s automotive industry. The rise to producing two million vehicles annually in this country is expected to result in an extra 9500 jobs created within vehicle manufacturers, with the potential for a further 28,000 jobs to be created within the wider supply chain.

Whether your car is premium, budget or somewhere in between, we have a range of car mats and seat covers to suit both your car and your budget.

New Boot Liners

This week our talented team have created three new tailored quilted boot liners:

BMW 1 Series (2011-Present) Quilted Boot Liner

BMW X6 (2008-2015) Quilted Boot Liner

BMW X1 (2009-Present) Quilted Boot Liner

The new boot liners are now available to purchase on our website.

These boot liners can also be used as load liners. Simply unclip the straps from around the headrests and undo the velcro that holds the back and the sides together. The back of the boot liner will now lay flat when the back seats are put down.

Don’t worry about the mess..you can still keep your car clean!

Honda Civic Hatchback (2006-2008) Quilted Waterproof Boot Liner

Yes it’s Autumn, yes the leaves are falling off the trees, the ground is generally sodden and your wellies are already your staple wardrobe item.

For the parents and pet owners among us, the wet and windy weather can only mean one thing – a messy car!

Whether it’s your labrador’s mucky paws, or the persistently wet and muddy pram wheels; the kids’ wellies or the wheels on their brand new bike, your boot can suffer the consequences of a soggy afternoon in the countryside.

Volkswagen Tiguan (2007-Present) Quilted Waterproof Boot Liner

The house proud among us often refuse to disembark into the house with all the paraphernalia from a trip out on an Autumn day, leaving our cars to take the brunt. But why can’t we be equally proud of the condition of our cars, particularly the ever-neglected boot?

At Premier Products we now have a wide range of boot liners to help solve that problem.

Each boot liner is tailor-made to fit the shape of your specific vehicle. This ensures an excellent fit enabling you to make best use of your precious boot space – avoiding dirt and dog hairs settling behind the liner.

A bumper flap is provided to protect your car when dogs jump in and out or when loading and unloading.

To care for your liner, simply wipe clean, hose down or machine wash at 30 degrees (no fabric softener). Prices start from £89.99.

We have recently added three new boot liners to our range:

Honda Civic Hatchback (2006-2008)
Toyota Auris Tourer (2011-Present)
Volkswagen Tiguan (2007-Present)

Introducing the Load Liner

Last year we created the tailored quilted boot liner which have been extremely popular. Many customers enquired about being able to use the boot liners as a load liner which is not possible. We have therefore designed a waterproof load liner.

Load Liner

Key Features:

• Double sided – One side quilted and soft, the other hard-wearing and waterproof
• Covers the boot floor and the back of the rear seats
• Reinforced clips that fasten around the headrest
• Can be used with the rear seats down, clips around the front headrests
• 50/50 split so you can have one or both seats down
• Available in large (£74.99) and medium (£64.99)

Protect the appearance and value of your car with a high quality semi-tailored load liner. The essential product for any dog owner, golfer, gardener, fisherman, horse owner or tradesman, our waterproof load liners are extra tough.

Manufactured in the UK using the highest quality PVC coated fabric, ensuring maximum protection all round. The attractive, textured surface is impervious to dust, grit and dog hairs and also resistant to grease and oil.

The universal load liner is designed to cover the floor of the boot and the back of the rear seats. The boot liner clips around the headrest and can be used with the rear seats down. It also features a 60/40 split so you can have one or both seats down.

A bumper flap is provided to protect your car when dogs jump in and out or when loading and unloading goods. To care for your liner, simply wipe clean or machine wash at 30 degrees (no fabric softener).

The load liner can also be used as a rear seat protector and is reversible. One side is quilted and the other is waterproof. Please note this product cannot be used when passengers are travelling on the rear seats as it is not seat belt compatible.
