Used Car Awards 2024: Tonight’s the big night to hand out some very deserving accolades

The Used Car Awards 2024 are set to take place tonight at The Brewery in central London and highlight the very best of the used car trade.

Hosted by Wheeler Dealer star Mike Brewer, the Black Horse-sponsored awards will showcase the very best used car dealers, manufacturers and personalities in the industry.

The event kicks off at 6pm and will bring together hundreds of guests to enjoy a night of fun and celebration.

Brewer said: ‘We can’t wait to see everyone tonight for another fantastic Used Car Awards.

‘I love this event because it brings together my brethren – people I connect with and understand and I absolutely love handing out these awards.

‘They mean so much to people and we are proud to recognise dealers of all sizes.’

In total, Brewer will hand out 31 awards including our coveted Used Car Dealership of the Year winners in four categories, and the special Outstanding and Lifetime Achievement awards.

Car manufacturers will also be vying for honours in seven categories including the fighting for the overall Used Car of the Year gong.

Car Dealer editor in chief James Baggott added: ‘The Used Car Awards have been running for 12 years now and we’re incredibly proud to continue to celebrate the engine room of the automotive industry.

‘The judging process is very tough and the mystery shopping phase is taken very seriously indeed.

‘Those firms at the event tonight should be very proud of getting there as being in that room and on the shortlist already puts them in the top 1% of car dealers in the country.’
