Volvo Car UK announces 2024’s best-performing retailers

The highly coveted Volvo Champions Awards saw nine retailers from across the country recognised as the best in their area. Retailers were chosen by consistently exceeding market opportunities and surpassing all targets during a difficult economic period.

Going above and beyond expectations, the winning retailers included: Clelands, Arnold Clark Stirling, Ray Chapman, Riverside Motors Doncaster, Riverside Motors Wakefield, TMS Leicester, Waylands Oxford, Mon Motors Cardiff and Cambridge Garage Havant. At each retailer, teams have set high standards, having worked hard to maintain the retailers’ impeccable reputations, and offering customers a premium and personal experience.

All retailers were recognised for their chart-topping sales figures, complete with high numbers of repeat purchases and customer loyalty. The retailers were also applauded for having some of the highest employee retention rates, with their teams of experts representing the Volvo Cars brand to the highest of standards.

Taking the top title as ‘National Retailer of the Year’ was Clelands Volvo, who were recognised for their outstanding performance in new and used car sales – which ranked them the top-performing Volvo retailer in the UK – as well as achieving consistently high customer reviews.

Also receiving special recognition for their individual outstanding success during 2024 was Gavin Brown, Head of Business at Stoneacre Newcastle, who received the Head of Business of the Year accolade, and Ankit Jain, Transaction Manager, at Mon Motors Cardiff, who was named Volvo Champion for 2024.

Nicole Melillo Shaw, Managing Director at Volvo Car UK, said: “Congratulations to all the winners of this year’s Volvo Champions Awards. It was fantastic to hand out these awards to our high-performing retailers who proudly represent our brand and look after our customers every single day. I am looking forward to another year of success with our network partners around the UK.”
