Sandown Mercedes‑Benz Van Centre Recognised Among the Best in the UK
Sandown Mercedes‑Benz is proud to announce that our Poole Van Centre has been awarded Bronze at the Mercedes‑Benz Vans Dealer of the Year Awards 2025, placing us among the top-performing Van Centres in the UK.
For a single-site Van Centre, this national recognition is a significant achievement. Competing against larger, multi‑site operations across the network, the Poole team has demonstrated exceptional consistency, professionalism and commitment throughout the year. This award reflects the high standards delivered every day across all areas of the Van Centre.
A Team Effort
The Bronze Award is a direct result of the combined efforts of the following teams, each of whom plays an essential role in delivering an outstanding experience for our customers:
Technicians
Workshop and Diagnostic Teams
Customer Service and Reception
Management and Team Leaders
Compliance and Administration
Parts and Support Teams
Site Teams
Drivers and Collection/Delivery
From vehicle maintenance and diagnostic support to customer communication, compliance, parts supply and the final presentation of every vehicle, each team contributes to the smooth running of our Van Centre and the strong reputation we hold within the Mercedes‑Benz network.
Recognition Supported by the Wider Sandown Group
While the award specifically highlights the performance of the Van Centre, it is also supported by colleagues across the wider Sandown Group. Teams in Aftersales, Parts, Administration, Finance, HR, Marketing, IT and Compliance all play important roles in providing a strong foundation for our centres to succeed.
A Message of Thanks
We would like to extend our thanks to our customers for their continued trust and support. Building long‑standing relationships and keeping businesses moving remain at the heart of everything we do.
We also want to congratulate the entire Poole Van Centre team for this well-deserved recognition. Their dedication, professionalism and pride are evident in every interaction, and this achievement underlines the commitment they bring to their work every day.
Looking Ahead
The Bronze Award is a proud moment for Sandown and a strong start to 2026. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to deliver the high standards expected from the Mercedes‑Benz brand.
