Double-Award Win for eStar at Prestigious Motor Trader Industry Awards
eStar, the Mercedes-Benz Truck and Van franchise partner in the North West and North Wales, has been recognised at last night’s Motor Trader Industry Awards, winning two prestigious people-related categories, and a Highly Commended placement.
Kate Clay, HR Director, collected the new honour for HR Team of the Year, and Steve Bridge, Managing Director, won the highly-coveted Dealer Principal of the Year. In addition, Lauren Thistleton, Van Sales Executive at eStar, was Highly Commended for Rising Star of the Year.
The Motor Trader Industry Awards, which took place on 22nd November in London, are judged by a highly experienced panel chosen for their independence and expertise in motor retailing. Judges include the Motor Ombudsman, trade body representatives, and business journalists.
Kate Clay, HR Director at eStar, commented: “We are all blown away to have collected two major awards, as well as a Highly Commended placement at last night’s Motor Trader Industry Awards. It's one thing to say that we’re dedicated to keeping our customers moving, and investing in our people to enable that, but it’s another to be independently recognised for it, and what a recognition it is!
“Almost 20 independent experts judge the Motor Trader Industry Awards, so we’re very thankful that they can see the hard work and dedication that we put into everything we do here at eStar.”
Steve Bridge, Managing Director at eStar, added: “I’m humbled to receive such an accolade from Motor Trader, particularly as I celebrate 40 years in the industry. Being a leader is about empowering others to be their best, so it is a real privilege to lead such a dynamic, talented, and dedicated bunch of people at eStar. I’m proud of all they have done and continue to do.”
