Peugeot has recognised the top performing retailers, sales managers, business centres and service managers in its annual Guild of Lion programme.
Howards Garages, Weston Super Mare (pictured), was named as the top retailer, beating 176 Peugeot retailers to the title.
In the absence of the usual awards ceremony due to Covid-19 restrictions, each of the top 25 placed retailers were visited by Julie David, managing director of Peugeot UK, Steve Wass, marketing director, Simon Bisp, sales director or Mark Pickles, parts and service director to reveal where they finished in the rankings.
Adam Parsons of Simon Bailes Northallerton was the top-ranking sales manager, while Zoe Cockroft of Just Motor Group took home the service manager award.
Robins & Day stores led the way in the business centre category, with Robins & Day Manchester and Robins & Day Liverpool ranking first and second, respectively.
Peugeot UK MD David said: “I have been proud to see the resilience and positive mentality which has been at the heart of Peugeot’s retail and business network over the past 12 months.
“This year’s Guild of Gold Lion awards reflect the hard work that has gone into driving the brand forward despite the obvious challenges.”
