He also just got highly commended in Used car sales team of the year. Bearing in mind that’s pretty much Rory on his own! Two highly commended spots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick M.K. 574 Posted November 27, 2018 Well done everyone! Hopefully it was a fun night. Photos should be entertaining :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mat C 77 Posted November 28, 2018 I have just about recovered, my head still hurts. The funniest part was I thought i'd got a hot lead as had a missed call from an unknown number, went outside to call it back without realising that only 10 minutes before i'd been speaking to James and he'd drop called my phone so we had each others numbers.... I think the 2 bottles of Pinot had already taken effect.....however the good sport that he is owned up straight away rather than pulling my leg. Also my Partner Steph got highly commended in Rising Star Award too. Great night had and was nice to put faces to names. and well done to to you guys for getting shortlisted, its a big achievement and I still feel way out of my depth at things like this.

Arfur Dealy 823 Posted November 28, 2018 No offence James but self nomination imo is like sending yourself a Christmas card. Not my cup of tea. But... I would self nominate myself for the most selfish with my time, it’s my way or highway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOACROSS 414 Posted November 28, 2018 I think in Jame’s defence self nomination buys you a ticket but doesn’t win you the raffle. I for one will never win one if I have to self nominate as it’s well out of my comfort zone- awards ceremonies that is. We won the Car Gurus Dealer award again for the second year. Does that count? ;o) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
