Northern Ireland car retailer Charles Hurst has scooped a major award at this year’s Motability Dealer Awards.
The company, which is part of Lookers Plc, was named Large National Dealer Group of the Year in recognition of the service it provides to Motability customers.
The UK-wide Motability Scheme enables people to exchange their mobility allowance to lease a new car, scooter or wheelchair accessible vehicle. More than 650,000 people across the UK use the scheme managed by the national charity, Motability, which was set up in 1977 to enhance the lives of disabled people with transport solutions.
The Motability Dealer Awards, held annually, recognise outstanding dealer partners across the UK and are designed to reward best practice shown across the Motability Scheme’s national dealer network. Awards are judged on how a dealer delivers the scheme and includes direct feedback from customers.
“I’m thrilled on behalf of our dedicated, local team of Motability specialists that they have been recognised as the best in the UK for the important service they provide to the thousands of Motability customers that choose Charles Hurst to look after their needs,” Charles Hurst Group Operations Director, Jeff McCartney, said. “Great service is about carefully listening to and understanding our customers and providing solutions that make a difference and this important award is a recognition of our team’s achievements. Well done to everyone involved.”
