Ford Birmingham win Chairman's Award
The Car Service team at Bristol Street Motors Ford in Birmingham has been rated as one of the best dealerships in the country for customer satisfaction.
The dealership was one of just 14 in the UK to be presented with the 2012 Chairman’s Award for servicing, which is Ford’s most prestigious award for customer satisfaction.
In customer satisfaction surveys the Service department received one of the highest overall Service Satisfaction Net Promoter scores.
The score is generated by the customers of the dealership as Ford continuously carries out extensive research to assess how customers feel about the quality of service they receive from their dealer.
Dealerships that win the award not only meet their customers’ expectations when it comes to having their vehicle serviced, but exceed them, as demonstrated by Ford Birmingham’s Net Promoter score.
Andy Barratt, Sales Director, Ford Britain, presented the award to colleagues at Ford Birmingham.
Martin Leach, General Manager at Bristol Street Motors Ford in Birmingham, said: “We are delighted to receive the Chairman's Award as it is the ultimate test of the service we provide because it is judged by our customers. To be recognised as one of the top 14 Ford dealerships in the UK for servicing is really impressive."
“It is a real tribute to the excellence and dedication of all our colleagues and a fitting recognition of their commitment to customer satisfaction. Everyone at the dealership is extremely proud to have won this award."
Bristol Street Motors Ford in Birmingham originated in the early 1900s as a single Ford dealership located on Bristol Street in central Birmingham. Since starting out, the business grew to become one of the largest dealerships in the UK, and was acquired by Vertu Motors PLC after the company formed in 2006.
Andy Barratt said: "This award recognises the commitment and outstanding achievement of Ford Birmingham in 2012. Being a winner places this dealership amongst the very best in the Ford dealerships of Britain."
“Their focus and ability to deliver excellence in customer satisfaction performance, vehicle sales, finance penetration and parts sales helps to mark both the dealership and Ford out as market leader, allowing us to jointly maximise revenue and profits."
