Mantles Kia Royston named best dealership in the UK

Mantles Kia Royston was crowned the outright "Dealer of the Year" at the 2024 Kia Dealer Excellence Awards.

• The dealership also scooped three out of the four category awards, including 'Sales Excellence,' 'Customer Experience,' and 'EV Excellence'.

  Paul Philpott, president and CEO of Kia UK, said: "This is a truly outstanding effort by the team at Mantles.

  "To win first place as our 2024 'Dealer of the Year' is one thing, but to top three of our four categories this year – including the inaugural 'EV Excellence Award' – is an achievement that won’t be easily beaten."

  Neal Grainger and Harry Grainger joint managing directors at Grainger Motor Group said: "We are delighted with the performance of Mantles Kia Royston.

  "To win Sales Excellence/EV Excellence and Customer Experience is testament to the hard work by the whole team at Mantles.

  "At GMG we are strong believers that our staff are our No1 asset in our business and if we are successful, it is their hard work that has made this happen."

  The awards were announced at the annual Kia National Dealer Conference in Liverpool, attended by more than 1,000 Kia dealer staff and employees.
