Northern Ireland’s first ever Motor Industry Awards

for their good work.

And that’s just what’s going to happen later this year with the first ever Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards, which aims to celebrate the industry’s leading motoring businesses and professionals. There will be 18 award categories available to enter including Dealer Group of the Year, Used Vehicle Dealer of the Year, Best Customer Service Award, Sales Team of the Year, Inspirational Woman of the Year and Best Marketing Campaign. Event Director Sasha Jeffrey says recent sales figures, which showed new car sales in March up nearly 20% on a year ago, prove this is an exciting time for the local car industry.

“The Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards endeavours to give organisations, companies and individuals across the industry the opportunity to raise their profile and platform their contribution to sustained growth and success within the local automotive sector,” she said.

The event, which will take place at the Crowne Plaza, Belfast on 3 November, has already attracted several big-name sponsors. Event sponsor Used Cars NI is joined by category sponsors including AbbeyAutoline, CarMoney, City Auction Group and Purple Rock, Close Brothers, Codeweavers, Connected Car Finance, GardX, Northridge Finance, PML Group, TradeBid and WEEV. Cool FM is the media partner.

Used Cars NI Chief Executive Stephen Kelly said the awards would recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals and businesses who promote excellence in Northern Ireland’s thriving motor industry. “We are immensely proud to be supporting this prestigious event,” he said.
