And it’s not just the manufacturer that recognises the showroom’s winning formula, either – Devonshire Motors consistently receives the maximum five-star satisfaction rating from customers via surveys conducted by Mitsubishi.
The showroom in Braunton Road, Barnstaple, is a strong supporter of community projects – including lending the local Round Table’s Father Christmas a Shogun to help him deliver presents and raise money for local charities and groups. In fact, nothing is too much trouble for the staff, which explains why Devonshire Motors has won this award for the second time. The dealership was also given a long-service award in recognition of 25 years with Mitsubishi.
Dealer Principal Nathan Tomlinson said: ‘It was a wonderful night and this is great recognition for a really hard working team. The Dealer of the Year award means so much to us. Last year was a great year and this year looks like it will be even better. It's a fantastic time to be involved with such an exciting brand.’
The black-tie awards were held as part of Mitsubishi Motors’ annual conference for all its UK dealers, which took place at The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire. The award is the latest recognition of the great work at Devonshire Motors. In 2013 Nathan was named Dealer Principal of the Year by two leading trade magazines: Motor Trader and Car Dealer.
Lance Bradley, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: ‘Devonshire Motors continues to impress with its fantastic performance, so it’s a very great pleasure to award it this title. Congratulations to everyone there – they all deserve to be extremely proud. Mitsubishi Motors is enjoying phenomenal growth and Nathan’s team are playing a significant part in that.’
