Groupe Renault recognises top dealers

Groupe Renault UK has recognised its top-performing dealers, with Mitchells, Lowestoft taking the top prize.

It was named Gold Award winner in the Dealer of the Year category, with Renault Retail Group, Swansea taking the silver award and Mackie Motors, Brechin collecting the bronze award.

Groupe Renault UK determined its three winners by evaluating each dealership in its network of nearly 150 on criteria that spanned customer satisfaction and vehicle sales to overall profit and after sales turnover.

In addition, Groupe Renault UK celebrated some of its other franchise partners with Partnership awards. New for this year, these commendations recognised dealerships that have either partnered with the brand for an exceptional number of years, or recently joined as a Groupe Renault UK franchise.

The dealerships that were honoured with a Partnership Award for their longstanding service were City Motors, Bristol; S.J.Cook, Bristol; A.K.S. Yeovil; and Bells of Crossgar.

Vincent Tourette, managing director, Groupe Renault UK, said: “Our Dealer of the Year winners and Partnership Award recipients can feel very proud of their achievements, especially in the face of what have recently been very challenging trading conditions. Their success underlines their unwavering commitment both to customers and to the brand, and their support has made a significant contribution to Groupe Renault UK being on track to deliver our ambitious ‘Drive The Future’ mid-term plan.”
