Best in the business

We're excited to announce that Group 1 Kia Coulsdon has been awarded Highly Commended in EV Excellence at the 2024 Kia Dealer Excellence Awards, announced during the annual Kia National Dealer Conference in Liverpool.
Attended by more than 1,000 Kia dealer staff and employees, the conference opened with a new mantra for the coming year: ‘Take the Lead’. This phrase encapsulates what Kia and its dealerships have already achieved, as well as what they must continue to do to embrace the opportunities 2025 brings and meet the UK’s wider transition towards electric vehicles.
Taking the lead, Group 1 Kia Coulsdon was one of the stars of the show, earning a coveted Highly Commended in the EV Excellence category.
The annual Kia Dealer Excellence Awards celebrate performance across the extensive network of 190 UK Kia dealerships. Award recipients earned praise for their extraordinary dedication across their businesses in the past 12 months, with the prestigious ‘Dealer of the Year’ Award going to the top dealership, with second and third place each receiving a ‘Dealer Excellence Award’ trophy. New this year is the ‘EV Excellence Award’ to better reflect the market’s adoption of electric vehicles, alongside the ‘Sales Excellence Award’, ‘After Sales Excellence Award’ and ‘Customer Experience Award’. For each category, there is one winner and a further nine Highly Commended dealerships.
"Our team at Group 1 Kia Coulsdon are thrilled to be recognised with the Highly Commended Award for EV Excellence," said Charles Cox, Dealer Principal. "This honour reflects our strong partnership with Kia and our shared commitment to leading the charge in electric vehicle innovation and customer service. As the automotive industry continues its shift towards a more sustainable future, we’re proud to work alongside Kia to support our customers in making the transition to electric vehicles seamless and rewarding. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and we’re excited to continue taking the lead in 2025 and beyond.
Congratulations to the team at Group 1 Kia Coulsdon!
