Volkswagen has recognized Trust Group UK’s Wolverhampton VW site for 10 years of service as a Volkswagen Retailer.

Volkswagen’s Area Sales Manager Emma Foster, presented Trust GroupBrand Manager James Bertram with the commemorative award.  James said: “This award means a lot to all of us and we would like to thank everyone that supports us – that goes for colleagues who work within our business but most importantly, our customers.”

The dealership is part of Trust Group UK which was founded in March 2006 by MD Andrew Hockedy, and finance director Nigel White, when they bought three Volkswagen dealerships from Reg Vardy PLC. The firm employs 250 staff at sites in Wolverhampton, Stourbridge and Redditch.

Andrew Hockedy said: “Building a company from a start-up position into one that today employs 250 colleagues and is recognised as a strong partner within the Volkswagen Group is something of which both Nigel and I are really proud.

“The colleagues within the company have been the back bone of our success, delivering fantastic levels of service in both Sales and Aftersales and our Group’s continued expansion and prosperity is a real reflection of their collective abilities.”
