DOHA: Qatar has been recognised as its key regional growth market by Rolls-Royce, the Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Müller-Otvos, said during his recent visit to Qatar. 
Muller-Otvos visited Qatar to hold meetings with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha, part of Alfardan Group and the sole authorised dealer of the ultra-luxury marque in Qatar. 
“The excellent results achieved by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha year-on-year have helped contribute significantly to the brand’s exceptional sales in the Middle East, which in turn has helped fuel our growth globally,” Müller-Otvos said. 
“Qatar’s discerning customers, whose tastes and exacting requirements are met by our extraordinary cars, also demand a pinnacle dealership experience, which is perfectly delivered by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha. I want to therefore take this opportunity to thank the team in Qatar for its unwavering pursuit of excellence and commitment to our brand.” 
Qatar was the fastest-growing market for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in the Middle East last year, with its Doha dealer achieving a sales increase of 37 percent over 2012. This, coupled with the recent announcement of a further 37 percent surge for the third quarter of this year, clearly demonstrates the success of the company’s business strategies and increasing strength of the ultra-luxury car market in Qatar. 
During the course of  Müller-Otvos’ visit,  Omar Alfardan, President and CEO of Alfardan Group, discussed with the delegation the importance of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha’s ongoing focus on exceptional customer service, its premium facilities to cater for the brand’s ongoing growth, and future plans to ensure continued success.
“Alfardan Group’s continuing pursuit of luxury, sophistication and excellence is clearly demonstrated in our partnership with Rolls-Royce; underlining the success of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha as one of the region’s top-performing distributors of premium automobiles. We are pleased with the visit of  Müller-Otvos, which emphasizes the strength of our partnership though our shared passion towards luxury and excellence”, he said.
