Sherwoods Gateshead has done the double after being named Citroen UK’s top dealer for two years in a row.
It retained the trophy it won for 2020 by also scooping it for 2021 at the Citroen United By Excellence (Cube) awards ceremony held at the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre.
The black-tie event recognised the success of Citroen’s retailer network and people working in it across various categories, as well as highlighting the top sales executives and retailers that most improved their performance over the past 12 months.
Sherwoods Citroen in Gateshead was named the top retailer because of its continued strong performance during the year.
Eurig Druce, Citroen UK’s managing director, said: ‘2021 was another challenging year for the industry, with Covid and supply constraints impacting the whole sector.
‘Yet despite these challenges, our retail network continued to offer customers excellent service throughout and showed great resilience and determination. It is this fantastic Team Citroen spirit that we recognise with these awards.
‘Congratulations to Sherwoods Citroen in Gateshead for another excellent year and for winning the Retailer of the Year title once again.’
The Cube programme, which was introduced in 2021, groups retailers into ‘Teams’ based on their size, pitting those with similar opportunities against other retailers.
