Scots scoop Kia Dealer of Year 17 | 01 | 2017
SCOTS KIA DEALERSHIP, Dicksons of Inverness, has been named Kia Motors UK’s Dealer of the Year. The announcement was made at the company’s annual dealer conference in Liverpool where the Korean brand recognised its best performers in its 187-strong UK network.
“It always makes me extremely proud to be part of Kia when I see the commitment our dealerships and their staff show,” Paul Philpott, president and chief executive of Kia Motors (UK) Ltd, said, “and it’s a privilege to be able to recognise and reward the best performing dealerships in a number of categories.
“Everyone within the Kia dealer network has worked very hard to achieve yet another record breaking year in 2016, and with 10 new products coming to the UK in 2017 we’re excited to see the continued successes that this brings.”
And Dicksons of Inverness wasn’t the only Scottish dealership to receive a gong.
While Dicksons took Dealer of the Year — which is judged on a combination of the results for the sales, aftersales and family-like care awards — Flear & Thomson (Dunfermline) scooped the Dealer Excellence Award.
The award is judged on a combination of the results for the sales, aftersales and Family-like Care categories.
In 2017, Kia will launch the all-new Rio and Picanto, as well as two all-new models in segments that Kia have not previously been in as it bids to grow its 79,539 UK registrations in 2016.
The brand will also celebrate the seven year anniversary of the launch of its seven-year warranty.
