SUZUKI has recognised a number of outstanding retailers in its annual national dealer conference.
Hosted by Katie Derham, the television and radio presenter, dealerships were recognised for their achievements in the motor trade over the past 12 months.
All dealers were assessed on seven criteria and scored to determine who would be the winner in the large, medium and small Dealer of the Year categories.
The categories included percentage of target sales achieved, finance penetration percentage, Sales Customer Satisfaction Index, Service CSI, number of parts sold, number of accessories sold and return on sales percentage.
Dale Wyatt, sales and marketing director, said: ‘We are very pleased with the achievements of all of our winning dealers and would like to congratulate them for their efforts, as well as to the entire network for its commitment to the brand.
