- BMW congratulates retailers for their success and achievements across 2023 in annual event at Tate Britain
- Barretts Canterbury named BMW Retailer of the Year for 2023
- Victoria Steel from Eastern received ‘Head of Business’ award
BMW UK last week celebrated the hard work and accomplishments of
the teams across its 132-strong retailer network, who continued to
deliver above and beyond throughout 2023. The annual ‘Retailer of the
Year’ awards recognised excellence across 12 categories, with Barretts
Canterbury winning the overall BMW Retailer of the Year 2023 title.
This year the event was held at the Tate Britain on Friday
23rd February. Among the celebrated categories were Sales,
won by Ocean Falmouth; Marketing, which saw Williams Group take home
the top award; and BMW Financial Services, which was led by Sytner Newport.
With the introduction of the all-new BMW 5 Series last year, and
also the first-ever all-electric BMW i5, Corporate sales continues to
be an extremely important area of growth for BMW UK and a category
that the company wanted to recognise across its network. The Jardine
Group, impressing the judges with their deep understanding of the
sector and experience in catering to corporate customer requirements,
clinched the ‘Corporate’ accolade.
Soper of Lincoln were recognised for leading the charge when it
comes to sustainability, in the second year that this category has
been given a standalone award, thanks to their clear strategy and
proven track record as a pioneer of clean energy. The business proved
themselves as the benchmark when it came to showcasing an extensive
range of solid social sustainability and governance initiatives,
geared towards the wellbeing of their employees and the wider community.
Individual talent across the network was also recognised on the
night, with Victoria Steel of Eastern, picking up the ‘Head of
Business’ award and Lukas Ryan of Partridge receiving an award for the
best ‘Newcomer’.
David George, Chief Executive Officer, BMW Group UK said: “It
was a privilege to celebrate the exceptional talent within our
retailer network at a truly special event and venue. Returning to BMW
Group UK this year and recognising their achievements in 2023 has been
a marvellous way to reacquaint myself with so many people within our
network. I want to extend my thanks to everyone across the BMW Group
UK retail network and offer special congratulations to Barretts
Canterbury for their outstanding performance last year, earning them
the title of our 2023 Retailer of the Year.”
Paul Barrett, Managing Director, Barretts Motor Group,
commenting on the Retailer of the Year awards, said: “All of us at
Barretts are absolutely thrilled to have won the BMW Retailer of the
Year Award for 2023; it is particularly special in what is our 25th
year with the BMW Group. It is a real credit to our Head of Business,
Nathan Rogers, and to all of the team in Canterbury, who have
delivered an outstanding performance in all areas of the business.”
