Land Rover and Jaguar of the North American Division are proud to announce that it has formed a new and fruitful partnership with Young Presidents’ Organization, the renowned world’s biggest network of global business leaders.

Tim Watson, Jaguar and Land Rover North American Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs, is quite confident that with the superiority of Jaguar and Land Rover Parts, these two units would not fail YPO: “We are delighted to have created this alliance with YPO. The excellent reputation and extensive business leader membership of YPO is a natural fit for Jaguar and Land Rover. We are looking forward to working very closely with YPO and their other alliance partners over the coming months.”

“This is very much a long-term relationship and we plan to develop it in all areas through our dealers at local levels and national events that we stage for the two brands in the U.S. We are looking forward to working with YPO on major initiatives as well as additional ‘members-only’ benefits. We plan to roll out the program initially in the U.S. during the first year of this alliance with the intention of involving Jaguar and Land Rover globally with YPO from the fall of 2008.”

Buddy Teaster, YPO International Chief Network Officer, is as delighted with Watson relative to the three brand’s solid agreement: “YPO International partners with the best-of-the-best premier, global brands – making the Jaguar and Land Rover brands a perfect fit with our membership. Through this alliance, YPO members will be invited to attend events that will help integrate Jaguar and Land Rover with our organization. Also, a significantly high number of our members already drive Jaguars and Land Rovers and the new alliance will create even more loyalty for these two brands.”
