SUV Prestige managing director Steve Dhesi made it a double triumph on the night for the thriving business when he was named the Used Car Dealer Principal for 2022.
The Wetherby-based dealership also won the trophy for Best Used Car Online Sales Experience.
Dhesi fought off countless other nominations to be named the top used car dealer principal.
Described as an inspiring team player and a boss who leads from the front, he has overseen the introduction of an exciting omnichannel approach at his business that has taken it from strength to strength.
Dhesi said: ‘This is the first time we’ve entered any awards. We were so happy to be nominated for four of them, then to be shortlisted for two and win both of them.
‘Everybody goes 110 per cent every single day. We have got a fantastic team and we’re really, really proud of them.
‘This award goes to them. The way we treat our family and kids, we treat the SUV Prestige family the same way.
‘I am so proud to have got these awards. There is a great atmosphere here and this is certainly a ceremony we want to be coming to for the next 10 to 20 years.’
