A1 Motor Stores is delighted to announce awards for Ring Automotive for Supplier of the Year 2011 and Steal Seal for Best New Product 2011.

Both suppliers received trophies and framed certificates at the recent A1 Executive Committee meeting.

Derrick Lawton, CEO at A1 Motor Stores added: “We asked all our members to vote for the prestigious titles. We have a successful long-standing relationship with Ring Automotive that goes from strength to strength.

“Steal Seal is one of our new suppliers but the product offering is already proving popular with our customers. We continue to partner with the best brands/suppliers and develop product propositions to align the needs of our customers.”

Danny Gilmore, Associate Sales Director at Ring Automotive enthused: “This a prestigious award for us to win. On behalf of everyone at Ring I would like to thank all the A1 Motor Stores members who voted for us. In these challenging economic times is very satisfying to be thought of in high regards by the members in helping support their businesses.”

Adam Weaver, Director of Steel Seal added: “Everyone at Steel Seal are really proud to receive this award as it shows that our hard work over the last five years has been recognised.

“We believe Steel Seal is a fantastic product that can save the UK motorist literally thousands on Head Gasket repair, since we have introduced the money back guarantee bottles are flying off the shelves. We are proud to be working with A1 and to have a product that can help people in these tough economic times.”
