Vertu Motors

Vertu Yeovil MINI has been named as ‘Retail Sales Centre of the Year’ award at the MINI Retailer of the Year Awards 2024.

The glittering ceremony, held in Manchester, was a celebration of excellence within the MINI UK retailer network, spotlighting the dedication and hard work of its members in providing unparalleled customer experiences.

Hosted by the renowned comedian and writer, Katherine Ryan, the awards ceremony kicked off MINI UK’s year with a grand salute to the achievements of its retailer network.

Recognising outstanding performance across various categories including sales, marketing, financial services, and used cars, the event underscored the brand’s commitment to excellence.

Vertu Motors’ acquisition of more than 20 South West retail sites from Helston Garages Group Limited in December 2022 significantly expanded the Group’s portfolio, including the addition of Vertu Yeovil MINI.

Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu Motors, expressed his delight at the win, saying: “We are incredibly proud of the team at Vertu Yeovil MINI for their exceptional achievement in being named ‘Retail Sales Centre of the Year’. This accolade is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and customer-focused approach of our colleagues.

“Since acquiring the centre in 2022, we have been committed to ensuring the highest standards of service and excellence that Vertu Motors is known for. This award recognises our team’s passion for the MINI brand and their unwavering commitment to providing our customers with the best possible experiences.”

Speaking at the awards, Federico Izzo, Director, MINI UK and Ireland said: “2023 was an exciting year for the MINI brand with the announcement of the first two members of the new MINI family: the all-new Cooper Electric and new MINI Countryman. While looking forward to welcoming these models to their showrooms, our incredible retailers remained passionate and dedicated, and thanks to their efforts over 47,000 new MINIs were delivered to UK customers in 2023 – up 4 per cent year on year – continuing the UK’s position as the largest MINI market. Congratulations to all our winners!”

The MINI Retailer of the Year Awards is an annual event that celebrates the talent and achievements within the MINI UK retailer network. It highlights the importance of delivering best-in-class customer experiences and acknowledges those who excel in their field.
