Toyota Ashford and Lexus Tunbridge Wells, part of the Motorline Group, have been awarded the 2020 Toyota Ichiban Award and 2020 Lexus Centre of Excellence awards.

Three centres each year from the Toyota GB network of 188 are selected for the Ichiban Award.

Toyota Ashford was chosen based on its performance across all aspects of business including service retention, leadership and consistently delivering outstanding levels of customer experience.

Lexus Tunbridge Wells achieved the Lexus Centre of Excellence Award.

This rewards the customer experience delivered by the Tunbridge Wells team, along with their strong performance on customer retention in terms of vehicles seen for aftersales, vehicle parc penetration and accessory sales.

Steve Blake, Toyota and Lexus operations director from Motorline said: “These awards speak volume for the effort, passion and customer focus delivered by the Toyota Ashford and Lexus Tunbridge Wells teams.

“Given the challenging trading conditions of the last 12 months, it’s great to receive the awards, which truly reflects the outstanding commitment of the management team and the dedication and focus of all centre staff.”

Thomas Obee, chief executive officer at Motorline, added: “This is an outstanding achievement from our teams at Toyota Ashford and Lexus Tunbridge Wells, who have consistently performed at the highest levels in all areas of the business, making a significant contribution towards the group last year.
