This month, Volkswagen celebrated its top-performing Van Centres and Authorised Repairers in the UK during the brand’s Annual Performance Awards.
The event honoured the exceptional performance of over 60 Van Centres and 30 Authorised Repairers
throughout the country.
The awards recognise the network’s continued support, which was imperative in launching landmark new vehicles — including the ID Buzz Cargo — into the market whilst continuing to provide the same premium customer service that has become synonymous with the brand.
Accolades were given to recognise achievements in sales performance, customer service and experience, and a new category for sustainability efforts. Additionally, Chris Evans (no, this one
) received a highly sought-after Gold Pin for his outstanding service to the brand.

Cian O’Brien, brand director at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “After an exciting year of new car launches, we thank our fantastic network for all their hard work.
“We are proud to have a dedicated network of Van Centres, who remain committed to going above and beyond for our customers each and every day. Their support has been fundamental as we introduce a host of new products and move towards a new and exciting future for our brand.”
