Manheim wins top industry awards – again

Manheim has been voted ‘Service Supplier of the Year’ and ‘Best Auction Company’ in the 2009 BusinessCar Awards. The ‘Service Supplier of the Year’ award recognises service excellence across the automotive industry and not just the Auction and Remarketing arena while the ‘Best Auction Company’ award is the fourth time in four years that Manheim has been voted Britain’s Best Auction Company, following three consecutive Fleet News Awards.

Tristan Young, BusinessCar’s editor-in-chief said: “With voting at record levels this year for the BusinessCar Awards, Manheim’s win in the Service Supplier of the Year category – coming on top of a first position in the Auctions category by toppling rival BCA’s 14-year winning run – is impressive. BusinessCar readers clearly recognise that over the past few years Manheim has built up an unrivalled reputation for excellence and a wide range of services beyond auctions.”

John Bailey, CEO, Manheim UK and Europe commented: “These latest awards are particularly pleasing given the record voting from motor industry professionals. They are also recognition of the efforts of all Manheim staff across the business, providing great motivation as we maintain our resolute focus on customer service excellence and our broadening proposition.”

Manheim has now scooped 10 industry awards in the last five years, highlighting both the unparalleled range of products and services and also the quality of their delivery, through dedicated defleet, remarketing and retail services expertise. In addition to the two BusinessCar awards this year Manheim has also received four awards from Fleet News (Best Remarketing Company in 2007, 2006, 2005 and Best Website in 2006) and four awards from Fleet World (Innovation Award in 2008, Best Website in 2007 and 2006 and Fleet Service Award in 2005). The BusinessCar Awards are now the only remaining national awards that recognise achievement in the auctions and remarketing industry.
