FJ Chalke Nissan Yeovil, celebrating its 25th anniversary with Nissan, has been given a long service award.
Matt Duncan, Nissan’s network development and customer quality director, handed over a certificate to FJ Chalke MD Steve Fowler.
Fowler said: ‘‘We’re proud and delighted to have represented Nissan in Yeovil for 25 years.
‘‘Nissan is in a great place right now, with Qashqai and Juke regularly appearing in lists of the top 10 best-selling cars in the UK, and ARIYA and LEAF proving popular with motorists turning to electric motoring.
‘‘I’d like to take this opportunity to thank staff at both our Nissan dealerships for their hard work and commitment – and here’s to the relationship between FJ Chalke and Nissan going from strength to strength in the years to come.’’
The family-run dealer group began representing Nissan in Yeovil in 1999, 12 years after its first Nissan dealership, in Wincanton, started trading in 1987.
The Yeovil dealership, located at Fusion Park, West Hendford, has a nine-car showroom, space for 120 used vehicles, a fully-equipped workshop, and 10 electric charging bays.
The team is led by branch director Mark Swain, sales manager Matt Newham and service manager Alfie Mann.
Duncan said: ‘‘It’s a pleasure to present this award to the team at FJ Chalke Nissan Yeovil.
“I know that everyone here provides excellent levels of service to all customers, many of whom have been loyal to the dealership for several years – decades in some cases.
‘‘It all provides proof, if proof were needed, that the award-winning cars in the Nissan range, allied to first-class product knowledge and customer service, combine to create a formula for long-term success. Huge congratulations to the whole team – keep up the good work!’’
