Burton KIA are an independent KIA franchise dealership with over 10 years' experience. The management team pride themselves on providing a truly professional consumer focused sales experience. Since the team made the decision to take a management buyout from Inchcape in 2011, they have gone from strength to strength so much so that they are currently celebrating the magnificent achievement of winning Kia UK ‘Dealer of the Year’.
Burton KIA attained an impressive second place out of 178 dealers across the country and have also been ranked as one of the top ten dealers in the whole of Europe. It comes on the back of a record year in sales and performance for their hardworking team.
To achieve this award Burton KIA has stressed the need to maintain high standards across the business in not only a record sales department for 2014 but service and parts departments too, where exceptional levels of service are being met. These scores are established through Reevoo customer satisfaction ratings and reviews. KIA car sales also rose to record levels during 2014 this is true testament to a fantastic product.
There is more good news as we are looking forward to move into a purpose-built, brand-new dealership at Centrum 100, Burton on Trent later this year. When completed, our impressive new centre will offer unrivalled Kia dealer facilities due to a substantial investment on the part of the business, today one of the largest independent Kia franchises in the country.
Ian Bullock, Managing Director at Burton KIA, said: “Having been a Derby County supporter for some 48 years it’s been an absolute privilege and thrill to be associated with and sponsoring my team in this way. The Rams are certainly in my ‘DNA’.”
Derby County’s Head of Communications Colin Gibson said: “We are delighted that Derby County and Burton KIA have formed an exciting partnership and we thank them for their continued support towards the Club.”
He added: “We are also grateful that they have provided our media department with a vehicle this season which has certainly proved beneficial whilst travelling to and from matches.”
