Dealership Halliwell Jones, Warrington has been presented with the BMW Dealer of the Year Award at an awards ceremony held at its National Dealer Conference in Australia last night.

Exceeding targets set in nine different operational areas across its business, the dealership won the award following strong competition from the two other finalists, Chandlers Hailsham and Soper of Lincoln.

Presenting the award to Scott Hamilton (pictured right), dealer principal at Halliwell Jones, Warrington, Tim Abbott (left), managing director of BMW Group UK, said: “This award represents the supreme accolade for BMW dealers in the UK in terms of outstanding customer service and business performance.

“With BMW dealers investing over £30 million in modern, customer-friendly retail facilities during 2013, our five-star customer rating system for sales and service, and a range of other customer initiatives it is clear that the customer is at the very heart of our business. There is absolutely no doubt that satisfied customers drive the success or failure of companies.”
