We're proud to celebrate success across our Lloyd MINI retailers after receiving multiple accolades and nominations at this years' prestigious BMW & MINI Retailer of the Year Awards!
The esteemed award ceremony celebrates the achievements of retailers across the UK, with categories covering Sales, Marketing, Customer Experience and more.

Lloyd North Tyneside MINI was awarded Most Improved Retailer, recognising the significant progress and performance improvements made by the team over the past year, and reflecting the hard work and passion of the entire dealership.
