‘We are absolutely thrilled to win this Car Dealer Power Award because it’s voted by retailers.
‘We are 100% focused on always making sure we provide great value to new car retailers, providing them with their most efficient route to market.
‘This recognition from our partners is therefore particularly pleasing and will only encourage ever more hard work from our teams to try to make sure we continue delivering long-term valuable partnerships for retailers.’
Ian added: ‘I think what works in the eyes of our retail partners, and makes Auto Trader stand out as a partner for them, is that we’ve designed solutions that work for them.
‘In the case of new cars, that’s exactly what we did. We responded to requests from retailers but we also designed solutions that work for consumers.
‘You’re giving both parties what they really want and that’s what it’s all about – creating an easy solution for people buying cars and a more efficient solution for people selling cars.’
