We work hard to ensure that every customer who comes through our doors is fully-aware of their options and receives the very best advice, and we look forward to continuing to deliver this award-winning approach in 2017.”

Peter Wilson, General Manager Dealer Relations at Motability Operations, said: “The focus of these awards is to thank our dealer partners for providing a consistently positive customer service experience, after all, they are often the first point of contact for our customers. It’s important for us to recognise our dealer partners who go above and beyond when representing the Motability Scheme and highlight those who are setting a great example of how to do it well, like Bristol Street Motors Skoda Darlington.
