Vertu Motors plc, owners of the Bristol Street Motors, Macklin Motors, Farnell Jaguar Land Rover, Vertu Honda and Vertu Toyota franchises, is recognising the achievements of its colleagues across the UK.
The CEO awards, which are hosted by Vertu Motors’ chief executive, Robert Forrester, celebrate the top performing colleagues in the company from each area of the business, who have excelled and delivered outstanding performances.
The company’s board and management teams nominate a selection of managers that have impressed across the Group’s outlets and at central services, throughout the year. Robert reviews the nominations to select the stand-out performance in each area of the business, and determines personally who should win one of the awards.
Robert Forrester said: “Getting involved with the CEO Awards is something I always look forward to. It highlights the huge amount of talented game changers we have in the Group, who take responsibility and add a lot of value to their role.
