THE coveted Car Dealer Used Car Awards in association with Black Horse are just around the corner and today we announce the finalists who have made it to the next round of judging.
The awards ceremony, to be held at The Brewery in London on November 28, is the highlight of the used car calendar and this year’s event looks set to be the best yet. We can now reveal those who have made the cut to go into the final judging stages. Scroll down to see if your name or the name of your business is included.
The number of nominations and entries has far exceeded that of any previous year, making it tougher than ever to claim a prize. The most competitive category was the Used Car Dealer (under 50 cars) category with a huge 92 submissions.
The Best Customer Care award is also set to be fiercely fought for with 55 nominations.
The judging team has now undergone the verifying and initial mystery shopping stage. Those nominees were then scored on their performance during this and those who failed to respond were automatically disqualified.
The final judging stages are now being undertaken, which will lead to the compilation of shortlists, which will be published closer to the date of the ceremony. Then, on the night, the winner and two highly commended winners will be revealed in each category.
If you’ve made it into the list below, many congratulations from everyone at Car Dealer – and watch this space for the announcement of the shortlists!
