Family-run dealership Town & Country Cars has made the Motor Trader Industry Awards shortlist for the second consecutive year, and only the second time in its history.
The business - located on the Hampshire and Surrey border and now into its 45th year of service - has been nominated for four awards in 2024, one more than its previous outing the year before.
The Suzuki main dealer has been shortlisted for the same awards as in 2023: the Customer Care, Aftersales Excellence and Dealer Website of the Year awards.
This year, Town & Country Cars has also been nominated for: the Franchised Dealership of the Year award; thanks to a combination of excelling across these three categories, a year-on-year increase in business activity, and consistent and fantastic customer reviews.
The Motor Trader Industry Awards - in its 34th year and hosted by Motor Trader Magazine - takes place at London’s iconic Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane.
The prestigious annual event, exclusive to the United Kingdom’s automotive trade, celebrates only the very best dealerships nationwide.
This latest recognition continues the impressive trend of placing the small medium enterprise alongside the giants of industry.
Sales Manager, Ryan Tickner said: “we are thrilled to announce that your friendly family-run dealership has been nominated not once, not twice, not three times, but four times over, for the Motor Trader Industry Awards!
This recognition continues to highlight the huge impact we've made in the automotive industry as a small family business.”
Town and Country Cars have its customers and community at the heart of everything it does, proven by close local ties with both Alton Rugby Football Club and Ash United Football Club.
Two branches – in Aldershot and Holybourne – proudly serve the people of Hampshire and Surrey, having originally started out in the Ripley area of Guildford.
Ryan continued: “our second appearance at the award ceremony, most definitely wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic and loyal customers, who continue to trust and support us. They really are the driving force behind all of our success.
We want to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks for choosing us as your trusted dealership of choice. Your experience matter to us more than anything.”
This announcement neatly caps a successful year, having secured Auto Trader’s Highly Rated Award for customer service in 2024 and placing inside Auto Trader’s Top-1000 dealerships, across the entire country.
The news also arrives having been voted as the UK’s number one automotive brand for trust, by the Institute of Customer Service’s barometer of satisfaction, for the second year running.
The winners will be announced on Wednesday, November 20th.
