MAN Truck and Bus dealers of the year are AN Richards (Wrexham), HRVS Group (Sheffield) and DSV Commercials (South Killingholme), which took the small, medium and large award categories respectively.
The awards ceremony, this year staged at Celtic Manor, in Newport, South Wales, saw each of the winners presented with a cheque for £10,000 to invest into their business – plus a Porsche driving experience day at Silverstone.
Runners up in the respective categories were: Imperial Commercials (Peterborough), MAN Truck & Bus Swindon and MAN Truck & Bus Manchester – each of which received £5,000.
"Our annual dealer of the year awards are now established as a highlight in our corporate events calendar," says MAN head of UK network development Andy Turner.
"It's about our dealers proving their continuous commitment to the operators of MAN vehicles, supporting them 24 hours a day, seven days a week," he continues.
"The success of these six dealers is a testament to the dynamic and innovative performance of their management and the teams they have around them.
"Each operation has consistently achieved very high standards in meeting MAN's strenuous UK service-levels, and those performances have been the solid base on which this year's hard-fought awards have been won."
Dealers are measured against the MAN Up Time Principle (UTP), which records customer support functions, such as first-time MOT pass rates, emergency call-out attendance time and PMI schedule adherence in every dealership.
The awards programme includes every MAN dealer in the UK, both wholly-owned MAN branches and private capital dealers.
