Specialist Cars Volkswagen short listed for significant motor industry award
Aberdeen-based Specialist Cars Volkswagen has been short-listed by the Motor Trader Industry Awards for most improved business 2008.
The Motor Trader Awards recognise and reward excellence and innovation in and around the industry, fast becoming one of the ‘must have’ awards since they began 18 years ago. The most improved business award will be presented to the retailer or repairer that can prove clear management driven change over the past two years. Specialist Cars Volkswagen is enthusiastic towards its short-listed status for the award.
Martin Shaw, Managing Director of John Clark Motor Group’s Specialist Cars division comments:
“Specialist Cars Volkswagen has achieved considerable success over the past two years, increasing volumes and profits across our sales, after-sales and parts departments. This has lead to the dealership becoming the leading Volkswagen outlet in the Northeast of Scotland – a significant achievement in itself. We have also seen significant improvement within our Volkswagen Van Centre, achieving considerable sales figures for vans and light commercial vehicles in Aberdeen and Edinburgh.
“We are delighted to have been short-listed for such an important award which is recognised across the UK’s motor industry. Our short-listing for this award signifies that the dealership is being recognised for its hard work and initiative by some of the leading figures in the industry. To achieve an award for the dealerships’ efforts would be a great reward to all those who have worked to improve Aberdeen’s only Volkswagen outlet – we look forward to the night.”
The award, sponsored by Autoprotect will be presented to the winning outlet at a gala dinner on Wednesday, July 16 at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. With over 1,300 professionals from the motor industry the awards are one of the largest awards events in the automotive retailing calendar.

It also has all five mainstream Volkswagen Group brands – Audi, SEAT, Skoda Volkswagen and Volkswagen Vans with dealerships in Aberdeen, Dundee and Kirkcaldy.
