Motability
customers in County Durham can be sure of receiving award-winning customer
service when they visit local dealer Pulman ŠKODA, who have won a regional
award for their work with the Motability Car Scheme. The accolade is part of a programme of awards, launched
last year by Motability Operations, to recognise and reward outstanding
customer service provided by local Motability dealerships. Pulman ŠKODA won the award from over 600 dealers a fantastic
achievement and dedication from everyone involved.
The Dealer Awards programme is designed to reward best practice and
ensure all Motability customers receive exemplary customer service across the
Motability Scheme’s national dealer network. The Awards are judged on how a
dealer delivers the Scheme to customers, which is assessed by customer feedback
and reviews of their performance. All winners of the
quarterly awards are automatically entered into the national, annual awards
which are announced at the beginning of the following year.
Peter Wilson, General
Manager – Dealer Relations at Motability Operations, explains:
“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 Pulman ŠKODA. Many congratulations to them on their award.”
Celebrating
their Motability Dealer Award win, Elizabeth Walton from Pulman ŠKODA, said:
“All of us at Pulman ŠKODA are incredibly proud to win this Motability Dealer
Award. Last year we have moved into our new Pulman ŠKODA showroom at Belmont
Durham, along with undertaking a training programme to ensure that everyone in
the sales team are qualified as Motability experts. Offering the very best
service and experience to our customers. We want to thank Motability for this
fantastic award. We look forward to continuing our award-winning approach to
