Momentum!
Team, welcome to 2026. One month is down, and we aren't just starting the year; we are setting a new standard. Here are the hard facts.
Service & Sales Records
James and Zoe are smashing it in Service. Customer satisfaction is high, and they are setting the pace for the rest of us.
Momentum is building fast. We closed out last year with a huge finish of 178 deals in December 2025 (up from 124). We kept the throttle down for a record start in January 2026 with 267 deals, completely beating the 210 we did in January 2025.
Digital Explosion
The world is watching us. On Facebook alone, we hit over 17 million views. TikTok is now our biggest organic growth engine with over 1 million views and more than 1,500 new followers. YouTube is holding attention with over 500,000 views and 3,100 hours of watch time, while Vanlux is driving strong efficiency with 100% organic reach.
Culture & Recognition
The Pizza Oven is open for business! Congrats to Jack for enjoying his complimentary pizza. He earned it by capturing two handover photos for marketing. Because of real content like this, our socials are popping off.
Additionally, Simon Joyce has been officially named in the MotorTrader Top 50 Movers & Shakers at number 45. This is a huge point of recognition for the business; it reflects the hard work of the entire team.
The Trophy Cabinet
We are piling up the silverware. In the last 18 months, we have won Used Van Dealer of the Year, UK Car Dealership of the Year, LCV Dealer of the Year, Digital Initiative of the Year, Commercial Dealer Website of the Year, and the SME Best Pre-Owned Van Retailer award. Jamie Blowes also took home the Rising Star award.
