“I would like to congratulate the winners on their awards, and thank all of the retailers for their continued hard work and dedication," Alasdair Stewart, brand director, Skoda UK, said. "I’m confident that, together, we can make 2014 another record-breaking year.
“The number of cars sold in the UK is rapidly increasing every year and we are delighted to be setting new records. Sales of new Skoda vehicles reached a very impressive 66,000 units in 2013, compared to 53,200 for the previous 12 months, a significant 24% increase. This is of course testament to the outstanding work of our retailers up and down the country.”
