Motor group grabs global award

A fast-expanding Lancashire Nissan dealer is celebrating after winning the carmaker’s highest global retail honour.

The accolade – reserved for the world’s best performing Nissan dealers – recognises the Chorley Group’s outstanding sales performance and customer care.

Andy said: “We are thrilled to receive this global award as it’s recognition for the hard work and dedication of our team, who put customer service at the heart of everything they do.

“We are currently ranked as a 5-Star Trustpilot dealer, with a customer satisfaction rate of over 95 per cent.

Mike Thompson, aftersales director at Nissan Motor (GB), said: “Very few dealerships in the world receive a Nissan Global Award so to win one is very special.

The foundations for the Chorley Group were laid in 1989 when Andy Turner launched his first enterprise, at the age of 29, trading used cars. In 1991 he opened his first used car forecourt, and by 1993 he had expanded the business to incorporate three sites.

Today, the Chorley Group operates Nissan franchises in Chorley, Preston, Wigan, Burnley and Blackpool and sells more than 11,000 cars per year. To find out more about what drives the company's success, read Lancashire Business View's in-depth interview with managing director Pauline Turner .
