Field’s Car Centre win big at the Car Dealer Magazine Awards
Woking’s Field’s Car Centre won Service and Repair outlet of the year at the 2017 Car Dealer Magazine Awards in London.
“We are still stunned!
In a room of over 700 motor industry professionals little Field's Car Centre from Woking won the category: 'Service and Repair outlet of the year'
I will tell you more about our night but first let me take you back if I may.
Richard, my brother and I started FCC back in 1981. The business grew over the years and believe it or not we still have some of those original customers who came to us when we started. So many thanks to you for the support over 36 years now.
In 1995 we entered a Motor Trade Award for the Auto Trade Magazine. It was our first venture into the world where we had to compete against other garages, some very notable companies I will add.
Back then we had the great experience and accolade of winning 'Independent small Garage of the Year' 1995 in Birmingham. Fast forward to 2005 and we tried again. This time we were runners up at the 'Motortrade Awards', Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane. A good experience but we came away disappointed we had not won. But in these awards you are up against some very impressive businesses.
We stepped back from this world of competitions and concentrated on FCC growth.
However this year, Richard decided the time was right to try again. We entered for two awards, 'Car Dealer' magazine 'Service and Repair Outlet of the Year' and 'Workshop' magazine 'Independent Garage of the Year'.
Well as you now know we won the first, the second event is on 11th December where once again we head up to town for the awards evening final. This time we are taking a few more of our senior staff with us.
If we win, then fantastic... If we don't, then the evening will still be a chance to celebrate for the team and enjoy a great night out! A reward for their hard work and commitment, the part they have all played in establishing FCC as a leading Independent Garage in the UK..
The only drawback is it's a Monday night!! We all have to work the next day!!”
