It’s a Win for cartime! Dealership Triumph at Made in Bury Business Award
Bury-based used-car dealership cartime is celebrating today –after winning Best in Class in the Motoring and Transport category at the 3rd annual Made in Bury Business Awards.
This award recognises cartime’s contribution to the car retail industry. Judges were looking for businesses that have demonstrated consistently high standards of customer care, as well as businesses that identify new income streams, develop new products and invest in the development of their workforce. cartime pride themselves on their unrivalled customer journey and aim to deliver the best possible customer service. They’re also committed to developing their workforce, offering ongoing training schemes for all members of staff.
The Made in Bury Business Awards 2015 (MIBBAs) acknowledge the success of Bury’s diverse business community and serve to recognise and reward local enterprises and celebrate their outstanding achievements. Standards were high this year, with the car retailer facing some tough competition. The other two finalists were established local transport providers, Bury Minibus Hire and Grahams Driver Training, a local driving school.
cartime’s owner and Bury-native Matt Kay who represented cartime at the glitzy, black-tie ceremony at the Longfield Suite, Prestwich said, “Since I founded cartime in 2012, my goal has always been to offer people a new way to buy a used car. It’s an honour to be recognised with a Made in Bury Business Award, as these awards have contributed a lot to the local business community in the last three years. I’m really proud of the whole team at cartime and it’s been a great year so far – so well done to them all for another great achievement. It’s also great to be able to say we offer an ‘award-winning’ new way to buy a used car!”
cartime were also up for the Best in Class Retailer award, but Slattery Cakes pipped them to the post in that particular category.
