Mitsubishi dealers dominate as group reveals award winners

The UK’s largest independent Mitsubishi dealer group, CCR, has presented its annual awards to its top-performing dealers.

The Wiltshire dealerships in Swindon and Melksham won four of the nine awards between them at the ceremony held at Alexandra House, near Swindon.

Melksham Mitsubishi was named Most Improved Dealership of the Year, while the dealership’s Lee Collison was crowned Technician of the Year and Claire Turner and Sarah Williams shared the Aftersales Advisor of the Year award. The award for Sales Department of the Year went to Swindon.

Tim Bagnall, managing director of CCR Mitsubishi, which has eight dealerships across the south, said: ‘All our award winners have done really well. We have had some absolutely fantastic performances.

“The award for the Most Improved Dealership shows they have focused on performance and done what they need to do to improve and that is key for me – improvement is what we are looking for.

“Those that have won individual awards have excelled during the year and it’s a pleasure to reward their hard work.’

Andy Jackman, regional general manager of Melksham and Swindon Mitsubishi, said: ‘I’m really pleased to see Melksham named Most Improved Dealership of the Year, because a lot of hard work has gone into turning it around.

“The sales team at Swindon have also done a fantastic job and made the most of every opportunity. It’s great to get this recognition but we are still striving to improve and make the customer experience as good as it can be.’

Chertsey Mitsubishi won the Dealership of the Year award for the second year running.
