We are thrilled to unveil the second part of the list of finalists in the 2025 AM Awards.
The judging panel has meticulously reviewed the entries, with support from AM Awards auditors Cooper Parry and the oversight of independent chairman Christopher Macgowan OBE.
AM editor Tim Rose said: "All the shortlisted entrants deserve recognition for their achievements. The judges were impressed by the numerous outstanding efforts, innovative initiatives, and strong performances displayed by the selected finalists."
The judging panel includes Sally Fyffe, marketing director at Micheldever Group; Julia Muir, founder of the Automotive 30% Club and CEO of Gaia Innovation; Sue Robinson, chief executive of the National Franchised Dealers Association; Paul Bentley, consultant and former AM100 dealer group operations director; Tim Rose, editor of AM; Professor Jim Saker, emeritus professor of Loughborough University’s Business School and presdent of the IMI; Richard Siney, consultant and a former AM100 dealer group operations director; Aimee Turner, deputy editor of AM; and Steve Young, managing director of the International Car Distribution Programme.
Each category will soon announce a winner from among these finalists at the AM Awards gala dinner on May 1, 2025, at London's Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel. This event offers ample opportunity for networking with colleagues and peers from the motor retail industry.
