Kinghams of Croydon, last year's national Golden Garages winner for customer satisfaction, has scooped a trio of trophies in its local 2011 Croydon Business Awards.

Kinghams, located at South End, Croydon, claimed the Awards’ highest accolade – ‘Business of the Year’ – and also secured two prestigious category wins, for ‘Best Business for Customer Service’ and ‘Best Business for Training and Development’.

The dealership, which has Subaru and SSangYong full franchises, plus Seat and Alfa Romeo service franchises, was also highly commended in the ‘Best Business for Sustainability’ category.

The haul of awards follows major national recognition for the business in 2010, when Kinghams was voted ‘Britain’s best local garage’, beating thousands of garages across the UK to claim the Motor Codes 'Golden Garage’ prize which is voted for by members of the public.

“It’s very rare for a dealership of our size to net so many awards,” said Kinghams’ dealer principal, Keith Kingham.

“Our investment in training and development are key factors in our success, enabling us to take on and beat a host of much bigger dealerships across South London.

"Kinghams is 50 years old this year and we have always believed that our job is to look after our customers – I would like to thank them all for their continued support.”
