One of the leading publications in the automotive industry, it brings great prestige not only to our colleagues but to our customers as well.

The thing I enjoyed most this evening is just the wide breadth of winners. It's always good for everybody to get together, to network, to meet people you don't see often. Sometimes, you only see them at awards shows like this, so its really important to network and see the friends you haven't seen for quite some time.

It's been really nice to see the calibre of dealerships and to network with all the different dealerships from across the UK.

I would say what it gives you is tremendous visibility. It effectively gives you a benchmark for excellence in the industry. If you're thinking of joining or you're thinking of putting forward your case for an award for next year, absolutely do it because we will.
