A big thank you to everyone that voted for us in the Audi Driver Awards 2010. Over 4,500 votes were counted in the most competitive year to date.
The award ceremony took place on Saturday 9th October in Swindon, the town made famous by having the only lighthouse not visible from any water! That’s right, this fantastic, although useless structure was built 40 miles from the nearest major waterway! Local councils in the 1830s were so concerned of rising water-levels caused by global warming, that they commissioned the construction of this urban lighthouse. Needless to say, the instigator of the plans was jailed for fraud, but the embarrassed council kept the light glowing for several decades to come.
The venue for this ceremony was the Swindon Hilton, however our first stop in Swindon was one a little more familiar – the Swindon Audi Dealership! Thanks to all the team there who put a lot of effort in and made everybody feel very welcome. After a brief look around the showroom, the guests were shuttled over to the hotel, where the main event took place.
The room was filled with owners clubs, Audi dealers, Audi UK representatives and of course the special guest, Allan McNish! It is always a pleasure to hear Allan speak at these events as he has so much passion for the brand and motor racing. His plane flight was certainly worth the effort, when he was awarded the final award of the night – Audi Personality of the Year 2010.
Our team were awarded two awards on the night. The first being for Audi centre of the year for events. We came second in this category, behind the hosts, Swindon Audi. An exact repeat of last years result and one that sparks some new competitive spirit. In response to our efforts to provide the best environment to purchase a new or Approved Used Audi, we were also presented with the silver award for Audi Retailer of the year.
Although, two silvers don’t make a gold, we are still very proud to accept these awards and this will only inspire us to work that bit harder next year to beat the hosts at their own game!
Once again, thank you all for your votes and your continued support
