• Grainger Motor Group Celebrates Double Win at Inaugural BYD UK Retailer Awards

  We are proud to announce a major achievement after winning two prestigious awards at the first-ever BYD UK Retailer Awards, held at the Telford International Centre in Shropshire.

• At the landmark event, GMG was named Retailer Group of the Year and Aftersales Retailer of the Year (EMG BYD Kings Lynn), recognising excellence across both sales operations and aftersales performance within the BYD UK dealer network. These awards highlight the group’s continued commitment to customer experience, operational standards, and long-term support for BYD owners.

  The event brought together BYD retailers from across the UK to celebrate success, share best practice, and look ahead to the future of the brand. Alongside the awards ceremony, attendees were also given an exclusive first viewing of the new BYD Sealion 5 DM-i, one of the most anticipated upcoming models in the BYD range.

• The Sealion 5 DM-i is a plug-in hybrid SUV built around BYD’s advanced DM-i (Dual Mode – Intelligent) technology. Designed to deliver the benefits of electrified driving with the reassurance of a petrol engine, the DM-i system prioritises electric power for everyday journeys while seamlessly integrating the combustion engine for longer trips and higher speeds. This approach offers impressive efficiency, reduced emissions, and smooth, refined performance.

   

  Positioned as a practical and versatile SUV, the Sealion 5 DM-i is expected to appeal to drivers seeking flexibility without compromise. With a strong focus on efficiency, comfort, and intelligent technology, the model reflects BYD’s ongoing commitment to accessible electrification and innovation. The first viewing provided an exciting glimpse into how the Sealion 5 DM-i will further strengthen BYD’s growing UK model line-up.

• “This recognition as Retailer Group of the Year and Aftersales Retailer of the Year is a fantastic achievement and a real credit to our teams across the business. Their commitment to delivering outstanding customer service every day is what makes awards like this possible." Harry Grainger, Managing Director, Grainger Motor Group

• January has been a fantastic month for GMG and a great start to 2026, these two awards come in addition to our five awards we collected at the Kia Dealer Conference last week. A huge congratulations to all our teams around the business that have made this incredible start to 2026 possible.
