HYUNDAI has paid tribute to its top-performing UK dealers of 2019.
Read Motor Group’s Grimsby showroom was named Dealer of the Year by the manufacturer, while Read’s King’s Lynn dealership scooped the accolade of Customer Focus Dealer of the Year.
Meanwhile, Richmond Motor Group took the title of Dealer Group of the Year and its Southampton showroom was feted as Sales Dealer of the Year.
Hyundai’s UK Aftersales Dealer of the Year for 2019 was Motorline Hyundai Maidstone.
