Maidstone car dealership Beadles Skoda has won the award for Best Aftersales Performance at the annual Retailer of the Year Awards.

Hosted by Skoda UK, the award was handed out by BBC newsreader Kate Silverton at the ceremony in Zofin Palace in Prague.

Managing Director of Beadles Skoda Richard Johnson said: “We understand that when a customer buys a car, they don’t want to feel alone the moment they drive off the forecourt.

"As far as we are concerned, if you buy a Škoda from us, we will support you with aftersales for as long as you own it. Our mission is simple, we aim to continually exceed our customers’ expectations, and this recognition from Skoda is proof that we’re doing a good job."
