Roadside Garages Kia Coleraine has secured two accolades at the second annual Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards, cementing its reputation as a top performer in the region’s automotive sector.
The dealership was honoured with the ‘Best Community Campaign’ and ‘Franchised Dealer Award’ during a glittering ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast.
These awards, which are exclusive to Northern Ireland-based vehicle retailers, highlight excellence in both community engagement and franchise performance.
Northern Ireland boasts the highest per capita new car sales in the UK, making the competition for recognition particularly fierce. This year’s awards celebrated the region’s best motoring businesses and professionals, with around 500 attendees from across the industry.
For Roadside Garages, the awards mark continued success, building on their hattrick of wins at the inaugural event in 2023, where they took home titles for ‘Best Customer Service’, ‘Sales Team of the Year’, and ‘Independent Dealer of the Year’.
Ian Lamont of Roadside Garages expressed pride in his team’s accomplishments: “We couldn’t be more delighted with these two awards, which is a great honour to win. We have a fantastic and dedicated team who I am incredibly proud of and who work so hard to serve our customers.
“The proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes, and this year we’ve seen record sales for Kia, which is a testament not only to the great products, but also to the customer service and relationships that form the backbone of our business.”
Lamont also thanked the judging panel for recognising the dealership’s contributions and credited the success to his team’s dedication and customer-centric approach.
