We are delighted to announce that Saltmarine have been shortlisted in 9 categories for the 2024 Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards.
That’s 1 more than we managed in 2023 where we won 2 categories and came highly commended in 2 others.
This is the second year that the awards have taken place and with entries up by 42% we are thrilled to have been shortlisted in so many categories.
Dealer Principal Michael Salt commented, “To be recognised in so many categories underlines the strength of our entire operation. From sales and service to marketing and employee wellbeing we strive to be the very best in the industry”.
The awards which we will be competing in this year are…
Sales Team of the Year
Our Used Car Centre sales team is in the running for this category. After being crowned as the UK's Fastest Growing Used Car Dealership at the 2024 Motor Trader Awards we have high hopes for this one too.
Rising Star
Shane won this one for us last year, can Patricia take home the award in 2024 especially after wining Newcomer of the Year at our staff awards earlier this month?
Franchise Dealer of the Year
Good luck to our amazing Hyundai team for this one.
EV Dealer of the Year
Between our Hyundai, Mazda and our Used Car Centre departments we've seen EV sales soar.
Best Marketing Campaign
Facebook, Instagram and TikTok - we've been working hard to inform and entertain.
Best Employer Excellence
We think Saltmarine is a great place to work, let's hope the judges agree.
Best Customer Service
Our customer service is second to none so hopefully we can bring this one home.
Automotive Technician of the Year
Could be an even better year for Adrian Gorczyca after wining Outstanding Performance of the Year at our staff awards earlier this month.
Aftersales Manager of the Year
Darren won this award for us last year. Can he make it 2 wins in a row?
The awards ceremony takes place on Thursday the 7th of November 2024 at the Crone Plaza Belfast.
Wish us luck!
