DS AUTOMOBILES CELEBRATES RETAILER SUCCESS AT ANNUAL PRESTIGE AWARDS
DS Automobiles celebrated its network at its annual Prestige Awards. The Awards celebrate DS retailers across three categories: Retailer of the Year, Most Improved Retailer and the Prestige Award for Marketing.
DS Swansea, FRF, was named Retailer of the Year, with Stellantis & You Romford and Charles Hurst Belfast second and third respectively. The Business Performance categories recognise a 360-degree performance including sales, with electric mix thrown in, and of course the all-important Customer Satisfaction in both Sales and Aftersales. Wilmoths Maidstone was named Most Improved Retailer with DS Swansea, FRF, also awarded the Prestige Award for Marketing.
Jules Tilstone, Managing Director of DS Automobiles UK, said: ‘FRF Swansea has approached the launch of their new DS Store with great tenacity and energy. They’ve demonstrated that as a business they understand the DS Brand and DS target audience. They have embraced the DS brand and created a great, open working relationship with the DS Head Office team. They’ve worked hard to execute 360-degree marketing campaigns for DS locally and we’re confident that this approach will mean they continue to grow their DS foothold.’
The awards come as DS Automobiles continues to expand its network with the opening of Stellantis & You Cribbs Causeway in Bristol, with work continuing to expand the network further throughout 2024 and into 2025.
The Prestige Awards allow the network to come together to share success and share best practice. This year’s awards were held at The Tewkesbury Park Hotel, Gloucestershire.
