LAST night saw Car Dealer crown this year’s Used Car Awards and Ewards winners at a glitzy ceremony in London and we can now reveal the results.
Around 400 guests from the used car industry arrived suited and booted in their best 80’s outfits to The Brewery in London, where they were welcomed by the Car Dealer team and Wheeler Dealer, Mike Brewer.
More than 20 dealerships and industry professionals from across the country took home a winner’s trophy while more than 20 were recognised for their outstanding achievements.
All images from last night’s awards will be available to download from Flickr later this week.
