Volvo Car UK has acknowledged its top performers across its 102-strong dealer network, naming Marshall Cambridge as its overall Dealer of the Year, with six additional dealerships achieving the accolade of Regional Dealer of the Year. The Volvo Dealer of the Year challenge is determined using key performance indicators from a variety of measures, including new car sales, used car sales, parts and accessories sales, and customer satisfaction.
Six other dealerships, namely Ray Chapman Motors, Strathmore, TMS Coventry, Fawcett’s Garage, Keith Price Garages and Donalds, have also been congratulated by the premium manufacturer as they came out on top as the 2016 Regional Dealer of the Year winners.
Recognised as the biggest achiever in Volvo’s retail network, Marshall Cambridge – and the other top-performing dealers – will be heading to the spectacular Graubünden region of Switzerland, an area of outstanding natural beauty, for a well-deserved luxury break away for their efforts last year.
General manager for Marshall Cambridge, Anthony Lord, commented: “This is a fantastic achievement for the entire team, who work incredibly hard to deliver high levels of service to our customers. Having secured a Regional Dealer of the Year spot at the six-month mark in 2016, to go on to win the overall Dealer of the Year is a real testament to everyone at Marshall Cambridge, so we’re naturally delighted to be recognised for our efforts.”
The awards underline how important all roles are within Volvo’s dealerships, including aftersales, parts and accessories, which are used to form an all-round measurement of the business.
Jon Wakefield, managing director of Volvo Car UK, said: “2016 was another record-breaking year for Volvo in the UK, with our dealers playing a huge part in the sales success, as we welcomed more beautifully designed and technologically advanced cars to our range.
“It’s hugely rewarding for us to be able to acknowledge the stand-out performers within our dealer network throughout the year as part of the Dealer of the Year challenge. The winning dealerships have all demonstrated outstanding levels of service and commitment to their customers on behalf of Volvo, and I hope they take great pride in their awards.”
