BMW Group UK kickstarted 2023 by recognising the hard work and dedication of its BMW and MINI retailers across its network. Acknowledging exceptional retailer talent and dedication and celebrating those that provided an industry-leading experience for their customers across the UK.

Reflecting upon the achievements of retailers over the past 12 months Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive Officer, BMW Group UK said,

“Last year our Retail Network delivered best-in-class customer service whilst successfully launching a range of innovative new models. I'm incredibly proud of all our retailers as their agility and passion for our brands means that BMW starts 2023 as the fastest-growing brand for pure electric vehicles in the UK and every fourth MINI Hatch registered is a MINI Electric. Tonight, we say thank you to each team for their hard work and dedication and we are delighted to celebrate their achievements with them.”
