A Land Rover dealer has won three out of four categories for which it was nominated in the maker’s national awards.

Farnell Land Rover, which has dealerships in Bradford, Guiseley and Leeds, was recognised as amongst the best Land Rover dealers in the UK.

The dealership has been part of the Vertu Motors group since last May.

Vertu was named top dealer group. A prize that was awarded for the first time.

Farnell Land Rover’s Leeds branch beat 130 dealerships to be named dealer of the year for the second year running. It also won the service centre title for the third consecutive year.

The Bradford and Leeds dealerships were also named in the marque’s top ten aftersales dealers.

Vertu Motors chief executive Robert Forrester said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised nationally at such a prestigious awards ceremony.

“It’s a resounding endorsement from Jaguar Land Rover, and one which undoubtedly gives us a great platform for further growth and success. When we acquired Farnell last year, our aim was to build on the success the dealerships were already experiencing and, thanks to a great team with expert leadership, this has already been achieved, with fantastic sales over the past nine months. I am immensely proud of the teams at all the dealerships, whose talent, commitment and hard work has been acknowledged with these awards.”

Vertu acquired Farnell Land Rover, which has been operating its dealerships for more than 65 years, in a £31 million deal last year.
