A CREWE Volkswagen dealer was named the best in the retailers UK network.

Crewe Volkswagen was named number one in the table of 200 Retailers nationally at a ceremony in London’s Guildhall.

The Weston Road business had been in top spot for most of the year, with the final rankings confirmed at the annual Retailer Conference.

Ben Gilbert, brand manager at Crewe Volkswagen, said: “I am thrilled to be starting 2015 on such a high.

“The success of Crewe Volkswagen is very much a team effort, and every member of the team works hard to deliver exemplary customer service.

“Being named number one Volkswagen retailer in the country is extremely rewarding, and I would like to say a very big thank you to every one of our colleagues, and to all of our customers.

“The added bonus of Swansway and Crewe also both performing so well is, I believe, proof that the Swansway way is the right way.”

The rankings are based on Volkswagen’s ‘one business scorecard’, which monitors and measures each business’s performance across sales, after-sales and customer satisfaction.

The family-owned parent company Swansway Group was also named Retail Group of the Year and Wrexham Volkswagen secured the number two position in the overall network rankings.

Swansway’s group director, John Smyth, was also delighted: “As a company, we are incredibly proud to see two of our businesses and the group secure the top spots in their categories.

“We are driven by passion, we are caring, honest and proud and I believe that it is these qualities that have contributed yet again to our success.”
