RRG Škoda Bolton named Škoda New Car Sales Retailer of the Year​

23rd March 2026

We are still buzzing from the latest ŠKODA Retailer of the Year Awards! It was a night of celebration, reflection, and—most importantly—extraordinary results for the RRG Group.

While the competition across the 127-strong UK network is always fierce, our teams at Bolton and Rochdale proved that they aren't just playing the game—they are setting the gold standard.

The Crown Jewel: New Car Retailer of the Year

The headline says it all: RRG ŠKODA Bolton is officially the Number 1 Škoda New Car Dealer in the UK!

Taking home the New Car Retailer of the Year Award is a massive achievement. Both Rochdale and Bolton were named finalists, placing both sites in the top three nationally for new car sales. However, it was Bolton that clinched the top spot, proving that if you’re looking for a brand-new ŠKODA, there is quite literally nowhere better in the country to go.

Excellence Across the Board

The trophies didn't stop there. Our teams showed their strength across every department:

• Used Cars: Out of 127 retailers, Bolton secured a top 3 finish, proving our "Approved Used" quality is second to none.
• The Human Touch: We believe in treating customers perfectly. We are delighted to announce Bolton achieved another top 3 position for customer service and experience.
• Fleet Specialists: Our Rochdale team flexed their muscles in the corporate world, taking home a top 3 position for Fleet Sales.

The Big One: Overall Dealer of the Year

When the points were tallied for the Overall Dealer of the Year, the results were a testament to the consistency of the RRG family:

1. RRG ŠKODA Bolton took home the Retailer of the Year honors and finished as the 3rd best overall dealer in the entire UK.
2. RRG ŠKODA Rochdale was right on their heels, securing an incredible 4th place finish nationally.

Speaking on the Awards evening RRG Skoda General Manager Paul Arden was delighted with the results:"Absolutely delighted and proud. This is a brand we took on back in 2013 with little knowledge of their operations and now we have 2 businesses consistently up there every year. Selling & servicing hundreds of cars a month to a very high standard. It shows the continual hard work put in by the teams at both centres."
