It's Official: We Have the Country's Best Dealer Principal!

We have serious cause for celebration this week following last weeks annual Motor Trader Awards 2013! Our very own Dealer Principal- Nathan Tomlinson- suprised many of us (including himself!) by beating off the opposition and picking up the prestigious 'Dealer Principal of the Year Award' at the glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Wednesday evening.

The awards honour the hard work and achievements of those in the Motor Trade and Nathan was selected by a panel of industry experts. BBC Sports presenter John Inverdale hosted the evening, Comedian Stephen K Amos entertained the 1500 strong audience later in proceedings and there was even an appearance from racing legend Sir Stirling Moss! We took full advantage of the London Taxi photo booth on offer (check out our Facebook Page for a cheap laugh!) and the Lotus Racing simulator- with variable results!



All of this years Motor Trader Award Winners

 Following the event Nathan said "I am naturally delighted to have won. The Motor Trader Industry Awards are well respected by everybody in the business so of course I am very pleased. I see this award as a tribute to what is more than just a typical dealership. We benefit as a direct result of the hard work that everybody puts in at Devonshire Motors, the team here are amazing. More than just that though, we are representing a dynamic brand who work closely with their dealer network to encourage profitability.


"We're successful on a local level because our staff are passionately committed to looking after customers, but our overall success comes from a combination of what we do and the people we work with. I'm exceptionally proud for all of us".  

Considering the sheer number of car dealerships in the UK I'm sure that you'll agree this is an incredible achievement and one all of us at Devonshire Motors are very proud of!
