Suzuki GB PLC has recently named its “Dealers of the Year” at its annual conference on the Spanish island of Tenerife. The ceremony recognises the achievements, exceptional performance and service delivered by #suzuki car dealers across the #uk and Ireland during the past twelve months. TV personalities, Ant and Dec, who have recently played a lead role in the brand’s adverts for the Vitara compact SUV, announced each of the winners via video link. The trophies were then handed out by #suzuki GB’s Managing Director, Nobuo Suyama, and Aftersales Director, Denis Houston.
All showrooms were evaluated in seven different areas which included the percentage of target sales achieved, the finance penetration percentage, the Sales Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), the Service CSI, the number of parts sold, and the quantity of accessories sold and returned on sales percentage. The figures were aggregated on a balanced scorecard to reveal the top dealer in each of the categories:
Large Dealer: Medium Dealer: Small Dealer: Irish Dealer: | Colin Appleyard Cars Limited (Keighley) C&M McDonald (Aberdeenshire) Worthing #suzuki (West Sussex) Brownes Cars Limited (Co.Donegal) |
