The Background

Automotive Event Requirements

In the competitive automotive marketplace, demonstrating a vehicle’s capabilities in a memorable and engaging way can be a highly effective method of generating sales. INEOS, a leader in the creation of high-performance 4x4s, sought a venue to stage an immersive test drive event for prospective buyers that would not only show the reliability and advanced features of their Grenadier vehicles in an off-road setting, but also impart a sense of sophistication that was aligned to the car brand.

The event venue had to provide a space that could push the vehicles to their limits in a variety of off-road environments, from muddy tracks to steep inclines, while also providing a hospitable environment for prospective owners to inspect the vehicles at their leisure with the sales team.

The Event

Off-Road Test Drive Event

Carden Park Hotel, located in a 1,000 acre Cheshire county estate, provided the ideal setting for the INEOS test drive. With its sprawling estate, extensive facilities and existing 4×4 off-road course – every aspect of the brief to showcase the Grenadier’s capabilities could be fulfilled.

Over a period of three days, the INEOS sales team hosted 150 visitors taking part in test drives on the 4×4 course. With muddy tracks, dips and steep gradients, the course showcased the vehicles handling, safety features and technology in a stunning countryside setting.

The large car parks on site displayed the vehicles, and the hotel provided a gazebo with refreshments to visitors browsing the 4x4s. Meeting rooms and bars within the hotel also facilitated sales discussions and gave ample opportunities for clients to be entertained.

The Results

A Successful 4x4 Off-Road Event

The INEOS Test Drive event at Carden Park Hotel successfully achieved its objectives of showcasing the capabilities of the INEOS Grenadier to clients in a dynamic, immersive way. By selecting a top-tier venue and offering a variety of experiences that catered to potential customers, the event succeeded in elevating INEOS’ brand visibility. Carden Park Hotel’s hospitality and stunning location played an essential role in creating a memorable experience.

Thank you so much for this weekend, the venue and the course were perfect for our event! We really appreciated all the help of your staff in ensuring a smooth experience each day. It’s been a pleasure to host the event at Carden, hopefully we can do another in the future.
