The recent Auto Industry Excellence Awards (AIEA 2019) reward independent car retailers and car repair garages for their passion, best practice, vision and leadership.
Being able to demonstrate that you’re an award-winning or award-nominated business is a source of reassurance for wary women which is why FOXY supports these awards within the scope of its FOXY Lady Approved assessment criteria.
Francesca Pipistrelli, AIEA Event Organiser, says: “The Auto Industry Excellence Awards are given solely on merit and are awarded to those most deserving for their integrity, passion and hard work, distinguishing them from their competitors and proving them very worthy of this recognition.”
Undoubtedly winning such a prestigious award strengthens a business’ reputation with new and existing customers alike.
