A heads up for any wanting to buy this mobo from Newegg or Amazon. These cards are shipped from the USA into the UK directly. As neither company would explain if the warranty extended to the UK I contacted the UK Gigabyte Returns Teams directly. This is their response.
Our warranty is not transferable and not global and stays with the original owner only and must be from our official UK dealers. If the product is from
a USA supplier, we do not provide the warranty service in UK and you will have to contact your USA supplier or our US branch for warranty.
If you want to have RMA service and warranty in UK, you must buy UK products from our UK official dealers.
regards,
Returns Admin Dept

Shortly after this response from Gigabyte I contacted them again and pointed out that none of the affiliated online stores they have on their website stock this mobo. They replied almost immediately saying "Our company will look into this.". Not particularly clear what this actually means for the purchasing public, but I hope it prompts Gigabyte to have at least one official outlet to cover RMA and warranty issues in the very near future.
