BMW UK last week named its top performing UK dealers in 2023 in an event held at Tate Britain.
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.
The Sales category was won by Ocean Falmouth; Marketing by Williams Group and BMW Financial Services by Sytner Newport.
Jardine Group won the ‘Corporate’ award while Soper of Lincoln won the sustainability accolade.
David George, CEO, 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.”
