THOUSANDS of votes were cast once again – and we can now reveal who won what at the Car Dealer Power Awards 2018 this evening.

Car Dealer Power is the annual survey and awards ceremony in which dealers are invited to have their say on the car manufacturers and suppliers they do business with – and thousands of them take part every year, making it truly representative.

It’s all done anonymously, so there are no holds barred – with forms being filled out online and on paper.

It’s the ninth year that we’ve organised the survey and awards ceremony, with its importance and popularity in the industry showing no sign of waning.

We exert no influence whatsoever on who the winners are – it really is entirely down to dealers, and they’re never shy about giving their views on everything from website design to warranties and advertising to recruitment.

A glitzy ceremony was held at the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, with its stunning views during the glorious evening delighting the attendees.

Once the presentations had finished, those wanting to carry on partying headed to the Grosvenor Casino.

James Baggott, the chief executive of Baize Group, parent company of Blackball Media, which publishes Car Dealer Magazine, said: ‘Our winning manufacturers in this year’s Car Dealer Power survey won great praise from our readers for recognising the difficulties their dealers are facing and helping support them.

‘Likewise, the winning suppliers to the car dealer network have helped their customers – our readers – make more money, work more efficiently and have been very busy introducing lots of new initiatives and products.

‘It’s innovations like these that are vital to help boost the automotive sector.’

Full coverage of the event will appear in Issue 125 of Car Dealer Magazine, which will be published in mid-July. For now, though, here is the list of the winners and who was highly commended. Well done to everyone!
