The award for the Used Car Dealership Group of the Year was awarded to Greenhous in 2024.
The business has sites in Shropshire and the West Midlands, with a range of new car franchises alongside its used car operations.
In this category, judges were looking for an easy-to-use company website, a great selection of vehicles for customers to choose from, and polite and friendly levels of service, whether experienced online, over the phone, or person-to-person.
Greenhous were praised for a seamless sales process and excellent performance from staff in all areas.
Ashley Passant, managing director of Greenhous’s car division, said: ‘We’re absolutely delighted to win this award although I must say it’s a surprise!
‘To win something like this is massively important for everyone involved in our operation – it’s great to achieve some recognition.’

He also paid tribute to his colleague Danny Minshall, regional retail director, who he said had played a key role in transforming the company’s used car operation in recent months.
Passant said: ‘The work Danny has put in over the last 12 months and the changes he’s made have been a revelation at Greenhous.
‘The Used Car Awards are massively important. Across the industry it’s been a tough couple of years. But at the end of the day, everyone here tonight is trying to do their absolute best for the car-buying public – we at Greenhous are no different.’
James Baggott, founder and editor-in-chief of Car Dealer Magazine, said: ‘This all-important award rewards the best used car dealer groups out there – they’re running complicated operations across multiple sites.
‘As you can imagine, our judges closely scrutinised all contenders. Competition was incredibly fierce but Greenhous emerged as the clear winner, so well done to all concerned!’’
Awards host and Mike Brewer, said: ‘Greenhous are well-known for the franchised new car dealerships they run, but it’s great to see that they attach huge importance to their used car operation as well.
‘As an impressively large company, their operation is multi-faceted but they make things very simple for the customer and this award is well-deserved. Nice one.’
