Citroën UK awards

Citroën UK has celebrated the achievements of its retailers at the annual Citroën Chevron Awards, held on Tuesday, 4th March at De Vere Cotswold Water Park. The event, which recognises outstanding performance across the Citroën network, welcomed former England rugby captain Will Carling as a guest speaker.

Retailers were assessed across sales, aftercare, battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and customer relationship management. Citroën grouped its retailers into ‘leagues’ based on size—small, medium, and large—to ensure fair competition.

J&A Rigbye was awarded both ‘Medium Retailer of the Year’ and ‘Overall Retailer of the Year’, ranking highest across multiple performance metrics.

Dealer principal John Rigbye said: “We are thrilled to have won the Citroën Chevron Award for both the Medium Retailer of the Year and Overall Retailer of the Year. We are a family run business and have been a Citroën retailer since 1989, winning multiple awards. Customer satisfaction is at our core, and it is great for our incredibly dedicated and longstanding team to be recognised in this way. We look forward to continuing our journey of providing exceptional service and driving Citroën to new heights, particularly with the arrival of the New ë-C3 marking an exciting year ahead.”

Citroën UK managing director Greg Taylor congratulated the winners, stating: “At Citroën, we take great pride in recognising the retailers and individuals who consistently deliver excellence for the brand. The Chevron Awards not only highlight top performance but also the dedication and customer-first approach that define our network. With the arrival of the New C3, New-C3 Aircross, New C4, and soon New C5 Aircross, it’s an exciting time for Citroën, and our retailers will play a crucial role in making it a success. A huge congratulations to this year’s winners and thank you to all our retailers for their hard work and commitment last year.”
