Vertu Retains Scotland's Best Motor Dealer Accolade
Vertu has successfully defended its position as the Best Motor Dealer in Scotland after being named as the winner of the accolade at the 2026 Scotland’s Business Awards.
The UK’s fourth largest automotive group secured the honour twelve months ago thanks to its Toyota dealership in Ayr, which qualified for the final having won the top prize in the Ayrshire and Dumfries area.
Vertu Toyota Ayr was in contention for the top prize again this year as defending champion alongside Vertu Toyota Glasgow, which secured a spot in the final through the Glasgow heats.
This time around, it was the Glasgow site, located on Kennishead Road in the Darnley area of the city, that came out on top to take the coveted prize.
The Scotland’s Business Awards are unique in that businesses can only be entered via customer nomination, with finalists then evaluated through mystery shopping visits, site inspections, and customer voting.
Mark Littlejohn, General Manager of Vertu Toyota Glasgow, said: “Being nominated for the Best Motor Dealer in Scotland award was an achievement in itself, so to be named as the overall winner is fantastic.
“Awards like this are all the more special when they come from a nomination from the public, because it is a genuine reflection of the high standards maintained by colleagues across the dealership.
“I’m hugely proud of everyone who has contributed to this success.”
Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu, said: “To win this award in consecutive years with two different dealerships reflects the high standards that we set across the Group.
“It is always particularly pleasing when recognition like this starts from a customer nomination, and congratulations to Mark and the whole team at Vertu Toyota Glasgow for the hard work that has gone into this award win.”
