Sales staff at Swindon’s Mercedes-Benz dealership are celebrating being part of the regional group that recently won the manufacturer’s Sales Team of the Year Award.
The Drakes Way dealership is one of the Sytner group of Mercedes-Benz sites in the West judged as having the best UK sales team across a number of criteria. The group also includes dealerships in Bath and Bristol.
Mercedes-Benz Cars’ regional sales director Mike Whittington praised the dealers’ performance and the outstanding results achieved, which included exceptional sales of approved used cars.
“An established and professional sales management team provided a solid base to deliver a consistently high performance in terms of sales, processes and great customer service,” he said.
The trophy was presented at a glittering awards ceremony hosted by TV presenter Myleene Klass at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham.
Mercedes-Benz of Swindon managing director Mike Fellows said he was delighted that the hard work of his sales team had been recognised.
“The commitment and enthusiasm of the team has been exceptional in what has been another challenging year for the motor industry,” he said. “While sales success may be judged purely by the number of cars sold, we place enormous focus on ensuring the customer is looked after to the highest possible standard from the moment of inquiry to the vehicle handover and beyond.
“This award acknowledges that and provides us with something to build on for the next 12 months, when we look forward to providing our customers with a retail experience that is even better than the award-winning one they already receive.”
