The search for the best of the best in the motor trade has moved up a gear today as the shortlist for Car Dealer Power 2025 is revealed.
The awards, as voted for by car dealers across the UK, honour the finest motor trade suppliers in the business as well as the best car manufacturers to represent in the UK.
We received a record number of entries this year, all helping to paint the most accurate picture of the motor trade over the past 12 months.
All the winners and highly commendeds will be revealed during a special video presentation on Wednesday, June 25, at 2pm on our YouTube channel – subscribe now so you’re notified when the broadcast goes live.
A shortlist for the top car manufacturer isn’t published, nor is there one for the Car of the Year, but the full results for those will also be announced in the video.
We launched the survey in February and today we’re pleased and proud to reveal the shortlist for the supplier categories after readers’ comments and votes were totted up.
The Car Dealer team will now assess the entries and judges will confirm the winners and highly commendeds over the next few weeks.
Car Dealer founder James Baggott said: ‘This year, more than any other, has seen some fierce competition – now the hard work really starts as we move into the next phase of the competition.
‘Congratulations to the firms who have made this shortlist.’
