Ocean Automotive’s Yeovil Audi dealership emerged as the German premium car brand’s top franchised retailer of 2020 at its annual Q Power awards.

The Poole-based AM100 car retailer’s facility, on Mead Avenue, Houndstone Business Park, was named as Audi Centre of the Year as UK brand director, Andrew Doyle, presented a series of awards at a virtual event.

Paul Marsh, general sales manager at Yeovil Audi, said: “Audi Centre of the Year, what an achievement, a massive thank you to everyone involved for all of your efforts.”

Yeovil Audi’s top award was one of 13 accolades issued by top performers from the Volkswagen Group brand’s retail network.

Audi UK brand director, Andrew DoyleDoyle said: “We stake our reputation, and of course our operational success or failure, on the performance of all our teams, so in 2009 we launched the Audi Q Power Awards to recognise and reward achievement that consolidates both crucial elements.

“Categories cover everything from sales performance and aftersales quality to innovation and sustainability, with an overall Audi Centre of the Year award sitting atop them all.

“My team and I virtually presented 13 Audi Q Power trophies to delighted Audi Centres across the country, and bestowed the top honour on Yeovil Audi.”
