Are you sure they were Azimut dealers? To my knowledge Bates Wharf are the current UK Azi dealers. They use Solent Motoryachts too.

The Azimut web-site does list Bates Wharf as the UK dealer.

How many did they sell? Who will look after their customers now?

My guess would be a sub dealer arrangement - 'if we find a customer for one of your new boats, can we sell it for a commission?' sort of thing. Then they stick a logo in the window and it makes them look official. Happens a lot in the marine industry. I doubt that they were a full on official dealer.
In fact if you look at the wording of the press release above, it says '...alongside Azimut UK', pretty much the giveaway.

I’ve never tripped over them on an Azimut or Fairline stand at any boat show.
