3 national honours including back-to-back Fastest Growing title reinforce Saltmarine's standing as one of the top dealers in the UK!
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that Saltmarine has won three national awards at the 2025 Motor Trader Independent Dealer Awards, held at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham. We took home Social Media Campaign of the Year, Digital Initiative of the Year, and Fastest Growing Dealer of the Year (Large Enterprise) - a category we also won in 2024, making this year’s win even more meaningful.
Representing Saltmarine at the event were Ryan Forsythe and Patricia McMahon, who made the journey to Birmingham with high hopes and left with arms full of trophies.
The awards bring together the very best from across the UK’s independent automotive retail sector, with categories recognising excellence, innovation, and resilience. To be named among the winners again, and this time for three awards, is a huge honour for our team.
Dealer Principal Michael Salt commented, "We are delighted to be recognised at a national level for our efforts in driving the business forward. Retaining the Fastest Growing Dealer title is something we’re incredibly proud of, a lot of work from the entire team went into the results which enabled us to win this award."
"I am regularly complimented on our social media content and the work of our marketing team and am delighted that they have been recognised for their efforts."
"Our use of digital innovation has played a key part in our recent growth and as we continue to invest in digital technology I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Ryan Forsythe as Business Development & Marketing Manager, Ryan joined Saltmarine in 2022 as our Marketing Manager, and has played a huge role in our recent success and business growth."
Ryan Forsythe, added “It’s hugely rewarding when operational changes lead to real results and for that to be recognised against our peers on a national level makes it all the more special.”
"These awards reinforce what we’ve always believed - when you invest in people, embrace innovation, and stay focused on delivering great service, success will follow. We’re excited to build on this momentum and keep raising the bar in our industry."
Congratulations to our entire team and a huge thankyou to our wonderful customers!
