Car Dealer Power 2016: Who won what at our glittering ceremony

Home Car Dealer Power

THE votes have been counted – and the results are in. 

At a glittering ceremony at the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth this evening we announced the winners of Car Dealer Power 2016 – and we’re proud and delighted to confirm the names of the companies that were triumphant.

Car Dealer Power is the survey that goes from strength to strength. And its power, so to speak, comes from YOU – the dealers. For the past seven years, we have asked you to name the best manufacturers to represent and the best suppliers with which to do business – and you’ve answered in your droves.

power16It is the ultimate litmus test of what car dealers are thinking right across the UK. And because the survey is confidential, dealers are happy to tell us exactly what they think.

This year, more people than ever completed our survey. Hundreds of them filled out paper and online forms and it was clear to see they were as vocal and as opinionated as ever.

This is great news for the manufacturers and suppliers that are looking after these dealers, but not so good for those falling short and under-delivering.

Car Dealer Power is genuinely special. The winners are part of an elite club that is doing the job properly as recognised by dealers. The Car Dealer team has no influence or say in who wins these awards – dealers do that.

Full coverage will appear in Issue 102 of Car Dealer Magazine, out on Monday, August 22 – but for now, find out who were the victors:
