Lookers has celebrated the outstanding efforts made by 21 peer-to-peer nominated employees across the UK and Ireland.
Launched in 2010 and this year held in Malaga, Spain, Lookers’ annual Excellence Awards event was the group’s most successful to date, with close to 1,000 nominations made by a range of employees for individuals working in a diverse range of roles from sales, servicing, customer service, finance, parts and more.
Employees from more than 150 Lookers dealerships and Head Offices nationwide took part in the nomination process, which opened earlier this year to over 6,500 employees.
Around 80 finalists and scores of guests from across the group attended this year’s gala event – the second to be held since 2019 following last year’s gala ceremony in Paris – which was hosted by racing driver, broadcaster and journalist Amanda Stretton alongside Lookers’ chief executive officer Mark Raban and chief financial officer Oliver Laird.
Raban said: “The strength of our success is built on the hard work, dedication and commitment to our customers which is demonstrated every day by individuals and teams across the UK and Ireland and we were thrilled this year to receive record nominations from every division and area of the business from employees who were keen to showcase the outstanding efforts of the people who make Lookers, and our Lookers family, the best in the industry.”
