Who won what at Car Dealer Power 2017?

Home Car Dealer Power

THOUSANDS of votes were cast – and we’re delighted to reveal who won what last night at the Car Dealer Power 2017 awards!

Car Dealer Power is decided by dealers filling in our survey, so manufacturers and suppliers who win their category or are highly commended can take great pride from the peer recognition – especially because it’s all done anonymously, so there are no holds barred – with forms being filled out online and on paper.

It’s the eighth year that we’ve organised it, with its importance and popularity in the industry growing and growing, and we exert no influence whatsoever on who’s a winner – it really is entirely down to dealers, and they certainly let us know who they thought were tops and who they felt had room for improvement.

car dealer power 2017 logoA glitzy ceremony was held at the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, with its stunning views delighting the attendees. A raffle raising money for independent lifeboat station GAFIRS, based across the harbour in Gosport, also took place, with three terrific prizes of a pair of tickets to the MotoGP, two VIP tickets to the British Touring Car Championships at Rockingham, plus two tickets to the Classic Car Show including a behind-the-scenes tour with Mike Brewer.

Once the presentations had finished, those wanting to carry on partying headed to the Grosvenor Casino, where they stayed until the small hours of today.

James Baggott, the chief executive officer of Baize Group, parent company of Blackball Media, which publishes Car Dealer Magazine, said: ‘It was an utterly amazing night! I felt incredibly privileged to be surrounded by those businesses highlighted by our dealer readers as being the best of the best in the automotive industry.

‘Dealers voted in their thousands over the past few months telling us who they thought were the best suppliers to do business with and who they felt was the best manufacturer to represent. And that’s what makes the Car Dealer Power awards so special and unique – we don’t have anything to do with who wins.

‘Whether they were highly commended or the outright winner in a category, they can all be extremely proud because it’s incredibly tough to make it through to the night. Congratulations to them all!’

Full coverage of the event will appear in Issue 113 of Car Dealer Magazine, which will be published later this month. For now, though, here is the list of the winners and who was highly commended:
