Double National Award Shortlisting For Truro Dealership
Two colleagues from Vertu Land Rover Truro have been named finalists in Jaguar Land Rovers prestigious Retailer Colleague of the Year 2025 awards.
Nathan Fitzgerald, Sales Executive, and William Ivey, Level 4 Technician, were selected from thousands of Jaguar Land Rover dealership colleagues across the UK following a rigorous nomination and judging process.
The awards recognise exceptional performance in customer service, technical expertise, and teamwork.
Both will now progress to the final stage of the competition, which includes a practical challenge at the JLR Academy and culminates in a gala ceremony where the winners will be announced.
Vertu acquired the Truro Jaguar Land Rover dealership in late 2022, which was then rebranded the following year as part of its strategic expansion across the South West.
The move formed part of the Groups wider plan to strengthen its premium brand representation and bring its operational expertise to new regions. Since the acquisition, the Truro site has seen significant investment in training, infrastructure, and customer experience.
Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu Motors plc, said: Recognition at this level doesnt happen by chance. Its the result of consistent effort, a strong work ethic, and a genuine commitment to doing things well. Nathan and William represent the kind of professionalism that makes a dealership thrive and keeps customers coming back time and time again.

To be nominated alongside so many talented people is humbling, and Im looking forward to the challenge at the Academy.
