Toyota and Lexus specialist Steven Eagell Group held its first Excellence Awards in November in Milton Keynes.
The event was attended by CEO Steven Eagell and the senior management team alongside employees from its head office and 43 Toyota and Lexus Centres.
Awards were presented to colleagues working across all departments, recognising exceptional performance in customer satisfaction and sales.
The company also introduced the ‘Excellence Recognition Award’ category, celebrating over 60 employees who play vital behind-the-scenes roles.
Founded in Milton Keynes in 2002, Steven Eagell Group has grown from one small dealership to a group selling over 50,000 vehicles a year.
The group is ranked 19 in the Motor Trader Top 200 Dealer Groups with annual turnover of £1.04bn.
The Excellence Awards mark a milestone in the company’s ongoing investment in its people.
This follows recent enhancements to its Employee Value Proposition, including improved sick pay, maternity benefits and holiday allowances.
New ways to connect and communicate have also been introduced, including quarterly company newsletters and Town Hall meetings.
Sheraz Rashid, group operations director, Steven Eagell Group, said: “Our first-ever Excellence Awards was a fantastic evening of celebration, achievements and great pride in what we have accomplished this year.
“The awards didn’t just recognise exceptional performance and results, they celebrated the attitude, passion and positive spirit that make our company so unique.
“We’ve experienced tremendous growth since opening our first dealership, and this success has undoubtedly been driven by the commitment and talent of our people.
“This occasion was our opportunity to thank our colleagues for everything they do. We hope they thoroughly enjoyed the evening and felt truly celebrated for everything they contribute.”
